Settler Charged in Killing of Palestinian Activist
A settler in Israel faces charges of reckless manslaughter over the death of Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen.
Israeli prosecutors have charged a settler with reckless manslaughter following the death of prominent Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen. Hathaleen was killed last July in the occupied West Bank while working on the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," as reported by Al Jazeera.
This indictment is notable as such charges relating to the killing of Palestinians by settlers are rare in Israel. The case has drawn attention to ongoing tensions in the region and the treatment of Palestinian activists.
