Mohammad Hossam Abdel Latif Habali was a 22-year-old mentally disabled Palestinian who was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers on 4 December 2018 in Tulkarm, a city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank,[1][2][3] near the 1967 boundary between Israel and the West Bank.[4] Witnesses report that Habali was killed by Israel Defense Forces, and the IDF has not disputed the cause of death.[1]
The Israeli army initially reported that there had been violent confrontations in which soldiers responded to rock throwing with live fire. B'tselem later released footage showing that Habali had been shot in the back of the head on a quiet street by Israeli forces who are then seen leaving the area without providing any medical assistance. Habali was later transported to a hospital in Tulkarem where he was declared dead.[2] After the release of the video the IDF reported that it had opened an investigation in to the death.[5] An investigation into Habali's death by the IDF has remained open in its initial stages as of July 2019.[1]
