Footage from the incident in Duma
The soldier initially fired warning shots into the air, the military said, but after the rock-throwing continued, he fired “to remove the threat,” hitting one of the assailants.
The military added that the attackers then attempted to seize the soldier’s weapon. Additional troops were dispatched to the scene, and the incident ended shortly afterward. Both the soldier and the civilian sustained light injuries from the rock-throwing and received medical treatment on site.
Al-Hadalin, a father of three, was said by Palestinian sources to be a high school staff member in the village of Masafer Yatta. Footage from his camera shows the moment of the shooting. Before the gunfire, the video also shows residents throwing rocks at the bulldozer Levy was in, shattering its windshield.
Police said Levy fired because he felt his life was in danger. The video appears to show al-Hadalin standing apart from the clashes, documenting the incident when he was shot.
