Palestinian worker and No other land According to several reports, Odeh Hatlin was killed on Monday after being shot by an Israeli settling at the West Bank occupied.
Hatlin was allegedly shot in the chest near Um al-Khair village to the south of Habron. Israel journalist and No other land Co-director Yoval Abraham reported shooting for the first time, stating that Hatlin suffered significant injuries after being killed in the upper body. The Palestinian Health Ministry later confirmed his death. His death connects the increasing toll of violence in the region, which has increased considerably in the last one year.
The Israeli police said that a citizen was detained at the scene and arrested for questioning, but did not release the name of the person. Israeli military sources told CNN The incident occurred after a settlement of “terrorists” abusing the rocks towards the Israeli citizens near Carmel.
Abraham also pointed to legal imbalance after the murder. He said after shooting Odeh, accused Setler allegedly directed the soldiers to detain four members of Odeh – who remain in custody – while the shooter was later released for the house arrest.
Several Israeli media outlets have identified the alleged shooter as Yinan Levi, which is the first to settle first by the United States, United Kingdom and Canada for violence against Palestinians.
Basal Edra, a co-director No other land And a long -time friend of Hatlin, shared a tribute on social media. Edra wrote, “He was standing in front of the community settlement in his village, when a settlement fired a bullet, who pierced his chest and killed him,” Edra wrote. “This is how Israel erases us – a life at a time.”
Hatlin was actively involved in the International Advocates Circuit. Last month itself, he was deported from the United States after being detained at San Francisco International Airport during a planned Interfaith Speaking Tour. US immigration officials canceled their visa on arrival.
His death is the latest in a series of events behind the film production team No other landWho won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. In March, co-director Hamdan Balal was forcibly removed from an ambulance by Israeli forces and detained after a settlement attack.
