An Israeli court has ordered the release of Yinon Levi, a settler accused of fatally shooting Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen during a confrontation in the West Bank. The incident, partially captured on video, has drawn international attention and criticism from rights groups, especially as the court cited possible self-defense and lack of evidence linking Levi directly to Hathaleen's death. The Israeli military is withholding Hathaleen's body, demanding his family agree to a specific burial location to prevent public disorder, prompting a hunger strike by women in his village. The case has intensified scrutiny over settler violence and the treatment of Palestinians, with supporters honoring Hathaleen's legacy through global vigils and protests.
