Palestinian TV reported Friday that the Israeli officer who ordered soldiers to kill 12-year-old Mohammad Al-Durra was General Ghiouriland. 

The television also featured a photo of the Israeli general. 

Israeli soldiers shot the little boy who, along with his father, sought shelter behind a cement wall near the settlement of Netzarim in Gaza a few days back. 

Featured on TVs throughout the world, the film showing the killing of Mohammad while his father was trying to protect him with his body, provoked angry Arab and International reaction -- Albawaba.com
