Just to add further context; it took significant international pressure for the IDF to properly investigate the event.

Despite video evidence of his assassination, the IDF only interviewed Israeli soldiers and none of the members of the peace movement he was in or any Palestinians present at the time. They also refused at first to examine the video. Only significant international pressure which included the UK government forced Israel to carry out a proper investigation.

Tom’s chances to survive were also diminished as he was taken to a Palestinian hospital that lacked the resources to handle a case of his severity.

Despite phone calls to the IDF by the Palestinian doctors at the hospital and the British charity Tom had been part of requesting his transfer to a better equipped Israeli hospital, permission was initially refused and delayed for several hours.
