The Israeli Public Prosecution closes the investigation into the crime of executing the martyr Al-Osaibi

Today, Thursday, the Israeli Public Prosecution decided to close the investigation file for the field execution crime carried out by members of the Israeli occupation police against the martyr Muhammad Al-Osaibi (26 years) from the town of Hura in the Negev, at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque last March.


The Israeli authorities cited the absence of a “violation” in the crime carried out by the occupation police officers, and the prosecution adopted the police allegations that the reason for not documenting the crime was the “lack of time” to “activate the body cameras,” and that “the accident occurred in a” dead zone, meaning “no.” Covered by any security cameras."


The statement stated that "Mahash recommended to the Public Prosecution Office to end the examination procedures and close the file due to the absence of a violation, which was the recommendation adopted by the Public Prosecutor and his criminal deputy."


The occupation police claimed that the martyr Al-Osaibi tried to snatch the weapon of one of its members near the Chain Gate and carry out a shooting attack, while witnesses reported that the police officers shot Al-Osaibi after a fight with them after they assaulted a girl by beating, and they tried to arrest her and remove her from the courtyards of Al-Aqsa.


The occupation police had claimed that the crime of executing the young doctor Al-Osaibi in Al-Aqsa was not documented with cameras, noting that at least 7 surveillance cameras were counted at the place of his martyrdom in the Bab Al-Silsilah area, in addition to the surveillance cameras installed in the uniforms of the occupation police officers.


The Haaretz newspaper quoted an Israeli police official as saying, "It is illogical that there is no documentation of the incident." "It is not true that there are no cameras at Bab al-Silsilah," he added. While the former occupation police chief in Jerusalem, Yair Yitzhaki, stated, "I do not believe that there were no surveillance cameras that documented the incident. I myself installed cameras in the area during my work period."


It is noteworthy that the Israeli Public Prosecution closed several files, including the case against the settler who stabbed the martyr Ali Harb to death in the olive grove near the "Ariel" settlement established on the lands of Salfit Governorate.


The crime took place in June 2022, when a group of settlers arrived at an olive grove near the village of Iskaka, east of Salfit, to establish a new settlement outpost, where a confrontation broke out between citizens and settlers, during which one of the settlers stabbed Ali Harb to death.


Despite the amount of evidence that reinforces the suspicion of the settler's premeditated killing of Harb, and contradicts his claim that he acted in self-defense, the Occupation Prosecutor's Office announced the closure of the case "due to insufficient evidence."
