Prosecutors plan to charge an Israeli settler with killing a Palestinian activist in the West Bank
Israeli prosecutors plan to indict Yinon Levi for reckless homicide in the July 2025 killing of Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen, a rare case amid rising settler violence, rights groups say.
- On Monday, Israel's State Attorney General's office said it had initiated proceedings to indict Yinon Levi, an Israeli settler, over the killing of a Palestinian activist, opening a rare prosecution of settler violence.
- Amid a sharp rise in settler attacks over two years, Hathaleen's death last July drew attention due to his role in the 2025 Oscar-winning film No Other Land and his funeral in Umm al-Khair on Aug. 7, 2025.
- Multiple camera angles captured the confrontation in Umm al-Khair, including footage Alaa Hathaleen filmed showing Yinon Levi waving a pistol, firing two shots, shoving people, and later being detained, placed under house arrest and released.
- Eitan Peleg, an attorney for Hathaleen's family, said prosecutors planned to indict Levi for reckless homicide, which the family called insufficient and described as an intentional, premeditated killing, a rare legal step in West Bank cases.
- On Sunday, Israel's Foreign Ministry announced a land-registration process, with rights groups warning it could strip Palestinians of land and drawing condemnation from Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
