>> “… My dear friend Awdah was slaughtered this evening. He was standing in front of the community center in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time,” said Basel Adra, activist and Palestinian co-director of #NoOtherLand.
>> [Israeli co-filmmaker Yuval] Abraham said that local residents identified Hathaleen’s killer as Yinon Levi, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied #WestBank. Levi was sanctioned … under the Biden administration in April 2024, …
>> President Donald Trump lifted the U.S. sanction on Levi and other Israeli settlers and settler groups on his first day in office this January.

>> Yesterday evening, an Israeli settler shot dead the Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen in his community of Umm Al-Khair, in the southern occupied West Bank. Known to many international solidarity activists and foreign diplomats for his steadfast non-violent resistance to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian communities of Masafer Yatta, the 31-year-old was critically wounded by a bullet that penetrated his lung, and he died before reaching the hospital.
>> [the suspected killer] Levi claimed he opened fire in Umm Al-Khair because he had been assaulted by “dozens of rioters” …
>> However, an examination by +972 and Local Call of around 20 videos from the incident makes clear that it was the settlers who attacked the Palestinian residents, not the other way around…

Israeli Zionism is a structure of lies, held together by lies, on a foundation of lies. Little wonder then that the killer lied and the Zionist authorities pretend to believe him.
