Source: haaretz
Three U.S. special forces stationed in Jordan were killed when their convoy came under fire at the entrance to the al-Jafr base
The defendant had said he opened fire because he feared the base was coming under attack and that he had acted in line with open-fire regulations.
At one point, two figures, U.S. forces, are seen getting out of their vehicles to take cover. They raise their hands and wave from behind a barrier, but the shooting continues. Another figure, according to past descriptions the Jordanian, chases them and keeps shooting.
The 6-minute-long video was in line with descriptions previously given by the relatives of the American soldiers who had watched the footage.
