New video footage released by B'Tselem shows Israeli settler Yinon Levi shooting Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen, who died from his injuries. The video, obtained from Hathaleen's family, seemingly contradicts Levi's self-defense claim. Levi, briefly detained, was released due to insufficient evidence, sparking outrage from B'Tselem, who highlights the impunity enjoyed by Israeli settlers. The shooting occurred during a confrontation in Umm al-Khair village, amidst escalating tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinians following the Israel-Hamas war. Hathaleen's body was released for burial after initial delays imposed by the Israeli army.
