It shows masked people. No proof that they're Israelis. The Palestinians have made up their own video evidence in the past trying to make Israelis look bad (remember the little kid who was supposedly killed by Israeli soldiers?)
Show some real proof, we'll discuss it.

A nine-year-old Palestinian girl has been killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza, as Israel said it was preparing for military action should Egyptian-backed mediation efforts with the Hamas movement in the territory fail.

There is plenty more:

The step from living on someone else's land to throwing a few rocks, swinging a baseball bat or firing a few shots at your unwanted neighbours is not that big.

Ignoring the mistaken comment about living on someone else's land for a moment...
Didn't we go through this tit-for-tat before, BOC?
You know very well that if we were to continue this game, you would run out of videos in which Israelis are doing rotten stuff WAY before I would run out videos in which.... well, you get the idea.
Now, if you find videos that prove that Israelis are faking footage, now that would be impressive.

Methinks you using the term "tit-for-tat" is progress.
