Israeli settler killed Palestinian activist, evades justice: report

A Palestinian rights group investigation found that Israeli settler Yinon Levi shot dead Awdah Hathaleen in the occupied West Bank on July 28, 2025. Levi claimed self-defense, but Al-Haq's evidence shows no threat existed. Israeli forces did not arrest Levi at the scene; he was released after three days of house arrest. The report says the killing exemplifies state-backed settler violence.
