Muhammad Habali
B'Tselem said the footage proves the IDF’s account of the incident is false.
"When the incident was made public, the military responded by claiming that a ‘violent disturbance of the peace had developed’ in the area, that ‘dozens of Palestinians were throwing stones’ and that the soldiers ‘responded with crowd control means and later with live fire,’” the organization stressed in a statement.
“The soldiers are seen walking unhurriedly, the Palestinians are seen talking amongst themselves, and then the soldiers fatally shoot Habali in the head from a considerable distance. The lethal shooting was not preceded by a warning, was not justified and constitutes a violation of the law,” B’Tselem emphasized.
The IDF said in response that the incident is being investigated by the Military Police.
"When the investigation is completed, the findings will be examined by the Military Prosecution,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit added in a statement.
