Absolutely, from the heart of Israel's security establishment.
And a couple of weeks before that, I spoke to former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who called for an intervention by the ICC.
He called for the International Criminal Court to intervene to save Palestinians and Israelis from what he called terror attacks in the occupied West Bank, because he said the Israeli government
judicial and security system was no longer functioning there.
So we went to that village to speak to his family, to his community.
We saw the place where he was shot.
We went a couple of days later.
There was still a very large bloodstain on the ground.
He was barely a meter outside his school gate.
And the shooter was aiming towards the school when he killed this boy called Alce.
To put it in further context, this was the second bereavement in their family.
Aus's father had been killed seven years earlier, shot by a settler.
We've seen other targeted attacks on education throughout the West Bank.
The same day that Aus was killed, a school a few dozen kilometers to the north was bulldozed.
Settlers went in overnight.
This was a school funded by European governments, including the British government and the French government.
they went in with bulldozers and just knocked the whole school down, leaving just a pile of rubbish.
The French have asked for compensation, but there's this sense that really there's nothing stopping these settlers.
In the south of the Occupied West Bank, settlers have just put razor wire across a road that children from the village of Amal Kheir used to get to school, so they can't go to school.
I think that's a very good question.
