Under the pretext of the war in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians in the West Bank have been abandoned to their fate. On Monday, Israeli settler Yinon Levi allegedly shot and killed Awdah Hathaleen in the village of Umm al-Kheir south of Hebron. Levi and another settler were working with a small excavator in a nearby settlement, next to Umm al-Kheir. According to the Palestinian villagers, at one point the settlers started entering the residents' privately owned land, and the residents tried to block them. After one of the Palestinians was injured by the digger, they began to throw rocks at it.
