Israeli Prosecutors Charge Settler Over Palestinian Activist's Death in West Bank
Israeli prosecutors have charged settler Yinon Levi with reckless manslaughter, armed trespassing, and malicious property damage in the killing of Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen in the West Bank. The incident occurred in July 2025 during a confrontation in Umm al-Khair. This case is notable as prosecutions of settlers for violence against Palestinians are rare. Levi's lawyer disputes the charges, and video footage reportedly shows Levi firing at Palestinians, with one shot hitting Hathaleen, a vocal critic of settler violence.
