On Saturday, the Israeli police claimed that it had opened an investigation into the circumstances of the killing of the martyr Muhammad al-Osaibi, a resident of the town of Hura in the occupied Negev, who was martyred last night at the Lions’ Gate in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

According to the Hebrew newspaper, Israel Hayom, the police confirmed that it will investigate its members who were in the place and take their testimonies, noting that the results of the investigation will be transferred to the Military Police "Mahsh" later to determine whether or not a criminal investigation will be opened.

This development comes despite the fact that the Israeli police claimed at the beginning of the incident that they had killed Al-Osaibi after he tried to seize the weapon of one of its members.

The Israeli police has so far refused to publish any video footage from the security cameras in the area.
