Palestinian police officers cover the body of 16-year-old Palestinian Mountasir Oukah with an Islamic flag, at a hospital morgue in the West Bank town of Nablus, Saturday, Aug. 26, 2006. Palestinian doctors said Oukah was killed and twenty people were wounded in clashes during a standoff between Israeli troops and al-Aqsa Brigades militants at a fugitives' hideout Saturday in the West Bank town of Nablus.

In reality, I think you'd find that this is a Hamas flag.
The selection of covering the body in a Hamas flag is significant, as that would seem to indicate to me that the teenager was not, as our photographer would have us believe, a civilian!
