was able to or willing to go to Hebron, so I took a taxi for protection, because I felt threatened going by myself. We saw on our way some settlers crossing the street in front of us and we stopped the car abruptly and in one second we saw at least 10 soldiers suddenly pointing their guns at us and loading them, it was very scary. We didn’t know if we should stop or not. And the soldier, because he thought that we were trying to run the settlers over, he almost shot at us. We stayed two minutes just frozen in that situation, waiting for the soldiers to let us go.” 28-year old resident of Dheisheh Refugee Camp, Bethlehem Interview: 1 November 2016 According to Israel, many of those 235 Palestinians were killed following an alleged attack against Israeli soldiers or citizens. However, in several cases photo and video evidence proved that there had been no attempted attack by the Palestinians who were killed. Some illustrative examples are the killings of Mohammad Youssef al-Atrash, who was shot dead on 26 October 2015 as he proceeded to take his ID from his pocket, and the killing of 17-year old Dania Ershied the previous day in the same area.49 Dania had just crossed a checkpoint with a metal detector and undergone inspection when she was called for a second inspection at another checkpoint by five members of the Israeli occupying forces.50 During this search the Israeli police officers shouted at her to show them her knife and fired warning shots at her forcing her to step back and raise her arms. Her arms were still up when she was shot dead.51 In other cases, although an attack or attempted attack did take place, the killing was still extrajudicial as the requirements of necessity and proportionality that apply to the use of lethal force were not met. The Palestinians who carried out the attack could have been stopped by non-lethal means. Therefore, live ammunition was not necessary. Most attacks were carried out with small knives and these attacks could have been stopped by using less force and/or other means in order to apprehend the alleged attacker. The killings of Abdel Fattah al-Sharif or Mahdi Muhtasib,52 both captured on video, are two additional examples of extrajudicial killings in which the use of live ammunition was unjustified. 49 Amnesty International, Israeli forces in Occupied Palestinian Territories must end pattern of unlawful killings, 27 October 2015.
