The video in question was taken by a man who was startled when he heard the two gunshots as the camera shook and later added, "Shots fired on a white car in Beit Ainun."

The Israeli occupation forces later pointed out that Basil was driving in a closed military zone that prevents citizens from entering or leaving it.
