Rashdan al-Aqtash said the residents of Zaatara - all part of the al-Aqtash extended family - were unarmed when confronted by the crowd of settlers on 26 February. The family said they first tried to report his death to the military liaison office in Hawara, but that officers there had refused to receive them.Sameh al-Aqtash was killed when settlers attacked Hawara after two Israelis were shot dead there
The family returned to the same police station the following day, but say they were again turned away.Ziv Stahl, executive director of the Israeli human rights organisation, Yesh Din, says many Palestinians in the West Bank encounter problems reporting crimes to Israeli police."Palestinians are forbidden from entering Israeli settlements [without a permit], so they have to come with a police escort.
"It says something about the quality of the investigations and resources that only 7% of complaints end with indictments," she told me.
