Victim of settler shooting left with life-altering wounds, ongoing pain 6 months on

[David__77]

On October 13, Friday prayers had just finished in A-Tuwani’s mosque when children outside began to shout in panicked voices “settlers, settlers are in A-Tuwani,” al-Adra told The Times of Israel in an interview this week.

…

In the video footage of the incident — taken by Basel himself, who works as a field researcher for the B’Tselem human rights organization — the Israeli man can be seen striking al-Adra in the shoulder with the barrel of his rifle, taking a step back, and then shooting him in the stomach at point-blank range.

…

Meanwhile, indictments against Israelis for violence perpetrated against Palestinians in the West Bank remain extremely rare. A study by the Yesh Din organization published in January found that of the 1,664 police investigations conducted from 2005 to September 2023 in which it had access to the case file, some 94 percent were closed without an indictment.

For al-Adra and his family, the fact that his shooter is still free — despite the large body of evidence against him and the fact the law enforcement authorities are fully aware of his identity — is a source of anger and a deep sense of injustice.
