Tel Aviv, Israel – It seems that new video footage shows the moment when a Palestinian activist was killed as an Israeli settler who fired towards him during a confrontation with the Palestinians who are not armed in the occupied West Bank last month.
The video, released on Sunday, appears by BTSELEM, an Israeli human rights group, the Israeli settler Yinon Levy launches a pistol towards the person who is depicting. The shots cut off, but the camera continues to roll while the person complains of pain.
Barthle says that he got a video clip from the Awdah Hathaleen family, 31, an English activist, teacher and father of three goals shot on July 28, who said they had photographed. Levy, who showed who was shooting twice in a video clip called another witness and was obtained by Associated Press, was then released from house arrest by an Israeli court, which indicated that there was no evidence.
The shooting of Umm Al -Khaar, a village that has long lived the violence of the settlers in an area of “no other land”, which won the Oscar. The settlers’ attacks on the Palestinians have increased since the outbreak of the Israel-Husass war, as well as the attacks of the Palestinian militants.
Sarit Michael, international director of settlements at B.G., said: “The killing of several terrible example is how the Palestinians, whether in Gaza or in the West Bank, are currently without any kind of protection, and they are fully exposed to Israeli violence, while Israeli soldiers or settlers can kill them in broad daylight and enjoy full escape during global hours,” said Sarit Michael, International Country Director of B.G.
Levy was previously under the US sanctions filed by the Trump administration.
Both videos seem to show the same confrontation between Levy and a group of Palestinians. The previous video appears to firing two shots from a pistol, but it does not appear where the bullets were hit. Several witnesses told AP that they saw Levi shooting Hathalin.
I tell Avichai Hajbi, a lawyer representing Levi, AP that Levi behaves in self-defense-without identifying his actions. Hagbi pointed to the court’s decision earlier this month, which issued Levy to arrest the House of Representatives, pointing to insufficient evidence. The judge said that Levy did not pose a threat to arrest him at home, but he prevented him from contacting the villagers for a month.
The Israeli police did not immediately respond to a request to comment on whether they had seen videos.
Bntlem said that Levy was with a crew that brought a digger from a nearby settlement to Umm Al -Khaar. The residents, for fear of this, will cut the main water line for the village, gather on an earthen road to try to prevent its path, and at least one individual threw a stone on the front window of the car.
Then he encountered the crowd while waving a pistol.
The new video appears warmly argues with three men before shooting towards the person who is photographing. Hathalin said that he was standing at the village community center, about 40 meters (130 feet) from the confrontation. She said that the bullet hit him in the chest and immediately collapsed.
Eitan Belig, the Hathalin family lawyer, said that they told him that Hathalin shot footage on his phone. He said that the police asked him for the video they did not see. Bielig said he urges the province’s court to investigate Levy due to more serious crimes.
Levy has helped create a settler site near a good mother that anti -stability activists are said to be a stronghold of violent settlers who have been displaced hundreds since the beginning of the war. The Palestinians and rights groups have long accused the Israeli authorities of overcoming the violence of the settlers.
In an interview with 2024, Levi told that he was protecting his land and denied the use of violence.
After the death of Hathalin, the Israeli army initially refused to return its body to the burial unless the circumstances were fulfilled at the funeral, including limiting the number of people and location. After an agreement with the police about a week later, Hathalin’s body was re -buried.
Hathalin had written and spoke against settlers ’violence and helped produce an Oscar -winning movie. Supporters set up murals on his honor in Rome, kept on the occasion of New York and carried signs bearing his name in the anti -war protests in Tel Aviv.
