Nah...:
A report presented to a French court last week by an independent ballistics expert maintains that the death of Mohammed al-Dura, a Palestinian child seen being shot in the Gaza Strip during the first days of the intifada in September 2000, could not have been the result of Israeli gunfire, corroborating claims that the shocking footage was doctored.
The ballistics expert, Jean-Claude Schlinger, presented his conclusions after reviewing the footage, which shows Dura and his father cowering by a wall after being caught in the crossfire between Palestinian gunmen and Israel Defense Forces soldiers at the Netzarim junction. ...In his report, Schlinger wrote, “If Jamal [the boy’s father] and Mohammed al-Dura were indeed struck by shots, then they could not have come from the Israeli position, from a technical point of view, but only from the direction of the Palestinian position.”
The excellent website The Second Draft has videos and analysis which have long ago debunked the Palestinians' claims. Watch them all...they are worth your time:
Update: Via Hot Air, yet another example of "fine journalism" by 60 Minutes ...

It was obviously always staged to me. After all, the Palestinian man has the child behind him rather than in front of him.
