JCSER: “Bound Palestinian Shot To Death By Israeli Policemen”

The Documentation and Research Unit at the Jerusalem Center for Social and Economic Rights (JCSER) reported Saturday that the Palestinian resident from Jerusalem who was shot by an Israeli occupation soldier in Tel Aviv on September 14 was bound (hand-cuffed) before he was killed.

The center said that Hazem Adel Abu Al-Daba’at, 22, from Al-Thowry neighborhood in East Jerusalem was shot to death after being forced to the ground while hand-cuffed.

The report contradicts the statement of the Israeli occupation government police in which the policemen claimed that they stopped a group of young Palestinians from Jerusalem, and that while a policeman was cleaning his gun a bullet was accidentally fired hitting Abu Al-Daba’at in the chest causing instant death.

But the JCSER reported that according to testimonies collected from his family and friends, Abu Al-Daba’at was on a trip with his friends and that they were stopped by the police near Tel Aviv.

His friends said that one of the policemen examined the papers of the car that belongs to the father of Amjad Shahin, one of the friends of Al-Daba’at; a policeman then started insulting Abu Al-Daba’at and his fiends, which provoked them to argue with him.

The policeman then hand-cuffed Abu Al-Daba’at, forced him to the ground, face down, and shot him; his fiends testified.

Following the shooting of Abu Al-Daba’at to death, the police asked the family to head to Abu Kabeer forensic center. After receiving the body, the family saw concussions and bruises and his head and face.
