Video Appears to Show the Moment a Palestinian Activist Is Killed as an Israeli Settler Opens Fire

UMM AL-KHAIR, WEST BANK, AUG 10 – Video from B'Tselem shows Israeli settler firing at Palestinian activist amid tensions over an excavator threatening the village's water supply, with settler attacks rising since the Israel-Hamas war.

  • On July 28, 2025, Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen was shot in the chest and killed by Israeli settler Yinon Levi during a confrontation in the West Bank village of Umm al-Khair.
  • The shooting followed tensions as residents tried to block an excavator Levi helped bring in, fearing damage to the village's main water line amid ongoing settler violence.
  • Video footage released by the human rights group B'Tselem shows Levi firing his gun twice toward the crowd, with several witnesses confirming he shot Hathaleen, who was about 40 meters away.
  • Levi claimed he acted in self-defense and denied using violence, while lawyers for Hathaleen's family are urging a criminal investigation and rights groups say Palestinians face impunity for attacks.
  • Hathaleen's funeral was held on August 7 after an agreement allowed the return of his body, and his killing highlights the surge in settler violence and lack of protection for Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas conflict.
