Palestinians push back against Israeli self-defence claims following the killing of 22-year-old Ammar Muflih Adili, shot at point-blank range in the occupied West Bank
Adili was shot at point-blank range by an Israeli soldier in the Nablus town of Huwara in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
They said the officer killed Adili without justification, and that Israeli security forces prevented Palestinian medics from trying to save the gravely wounded man as he lay on the sidewalk of a busy thoroughfare. Police said the driver shot and wounded Adili, who then charged a group of border policemen, stabbing one in the face. The border police officer tried to arrest Adili, who resisted and tried to grab the officer's weapon, police said. The officer who shot him was not injured.
In a second video, Adili is seen moving and rolling over on the ground after being shot, and it's not clear at what point he died. Tor Wennesland, the special UN envoy to the Middle East peace process, wrote on Twitter that he was “horrified” by the shooting and sent “heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family”. He called for a thorough investigation and said those responsible must be held accountable.
“During the last days alone, 10 Palestinians have been killed by ISF . Yesterday’s tragic killing of a Palestinian man, Ammar Mifleh, by a member of the ISF was the latest example,” Borrell said.
