On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian man north of the Al-Biereh city, in the central West Bank governorate of Ramallah and Al-Biereh, after claiming he tried to ram them with his car shortly after ramming and seriously wounding a soldier. The Palestinian is the fifth, including two siblings, to be killed by Israeli soldiers Tuesday.
In a statement, the Palestinian General Assembly for Civil Affairs said the soldiers killed Rani Ma’moun Fayez Abu Ali, 45, from Betunia town, west of Ramallah.
It added that the soldiers shot and seriously injured the Palestinian, who later succumbed to his wounds at an Israeli hospital.
The Israeli army claimed that the soldiers fired several live rounds at the Palestinian who was driving his car and rammed it into a metal barrier and alleged that he was trying to “ram the soldiers with his car.”
The soldiers immediately started firing live rounds through the rear windshield of the stopped car, which indicated that the Palestinian was posing no threat to them at the time.
Some Israeli reports also claimed that the Palestinian driver “exited his car and was shot by the soldiers in the middle of a busy road.”
However, a video from the scene shows the Palestinian car stopped after hitting a road barrier, before sounds of live fire are heard, and also shows an Israeli police officer striking the car’s side window with his rifle, an issue that indicates that the driver was still inside the vehicle that came to a complete stop.

Palestinian sources said the Palestinian was killed because Israeli soldiers profiled him as the attacker and chose to fire many live rounds at his car and that the entire incident was a traffic accident and not a ramming attack. (...)
