According to activists from the village of Umm al-Khair in the West Bank, where the shooting took place, the killing happened after a settler in a bulldozer drove through their land, destroying trees and property.

When a resident approached to ask the driver of the bulldozer to stop, the driver knocked him down with the blade of the bulldozer. Residents began to throw stones, and Levi allegedly emerged from the settlement and began firing. Hathaleen, who was standing a distance away from the confrontation, was then struck by a bullet.

Here are a couple of things the article doesn't mention:

Hathaleen (the victim) was recently deported from the US back to the West Bank while preparing to embark on an interfaith speaking tour. He was a nonviolent peace activist.

Levi (the perpetrator) is a terrorist who has repeatedly attacked Palestinians on their own land, set fire to their fields, destroyed their property, and threatened them. He's a menace who attempts to provoke confrontations. He was sanctioned by the US and EU, but Trump ended his sanctions earlier in the year. Genocidal forces within the Israeli government back Levi, along with many other so-called "settlers."

Since October 2023, over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli terrorists like him, and 7,000 more have been injured. Israel has demolished the homes of over 6,000 Palestinians in the West Bank. But it's not like it started then; this has been ongoing for years.

Many of the "settlers" are Zionist Jews from the United States, particularly NYC. A disproportionate number of US immigrants to Israel move to the West Bank, which leads to situations like extremists from Brooklyn invading Palestinian homes. Even setting aside the genocide in Gaza, no ethical person aware of the facts can look at this situation and conclude Israel has the moral high ground. (No, this doesn't mean a terrorist group like Hamas does either, but when faced with a government actively committing genocide, Palestinians have been remarkably restrained.)
