Palestinians have pushed back against Israeli police claims that an Israeli border police officer who shot to death a 22-year-old Palestinian at close range acted in self-defense.
A Palestinian flag and a poster showing Ammar Adili, 22, who was shot and killed by an Israeli border police officer on Friday, mark the location of the incident, on the main thoroughfare where shops are closed in a general strike, in the West Bank town of Hawara, south of Nablus, Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022. Palestinians pushed back Saturday against Israeli police claims that Ammar Adili had attacked Israelis, including a border policeman, in the area and that he was shot in self-defense.
The 38-second video begins with a tussle between the border police officer and three Palestinians, including Adili, on the sidewalk as traffic rushes by. The officer pulls Adili away in a choke hold and they exchange blows afer Adili frees himself. He tries to grab the officer's assault rifle, which drops to the ground behind the officer, out of Adili's immediate reach. The officer then pulls his pistol and fires four shots as an unarmed Adili drops to the ground.
Dmeidy said the officer had no justification to kill Adili after he had already overpowered him. Adili was “killed in cold blood,” said the mayor, who arrived at the scene moments after the shooting. 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.
The video of Adili’s final moments was a rare documentation of one of the increasingly common violent incidents involving Israeli security forces and Palestinians, including attackers.
