Israel pardons medic who shot wounded attacker, sparking nationwide debate

Israel’s president pardoned combat medic Elor Azaria, who killed a badly wounded Palestinian after a stabbing in Hebron, following a defence minister’s recommendation and near Yom Kippur. The 2017 manslaughter conviction remained controversial, with supporters calling the pardon humane and opponents citing security and military conduct concerns; the move does not reopen the case, and it revived long-standing political and public divisions about punishment and legitimacy in the Israeli security system.

Israel expands control over Hebron’s Ibrahimi Mosque, signaling broader takeover of planning in the city

Israel expands control over Hebron’s Ibrahimi Mosque, signaling broader takeover of planning in the city

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that Israel has transferred planning and construction powers for the Ibrahimi Mosque and adjacent Jewish settler areas in Hebron’s H2 to Israeli authorities, effectively altering parts of the 1997 Hebron Agreement. The move, framed by Israel as advancing sovereignty, is seen by observers as a dangerous erosion of Oslo-era arrangements and Palestinian planning autonomy, potentially increasing unilateral Israeli control amid ongoing settlement expansion. Palestinians and several international actors condemn it as infringing on governance and international law.

Israel takes planning control in Hebron’s Ibrahimi Mosque, signaling de facto annexation

Israel moved to seize planning and construction powers in Hebron from the Palestinian Authority, effectively scrapping parts of the 1997 Hebron Agreement that gave Palestinians control over the city, including the Ibrahimi Mosque. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s ally Smotrich announced cancellation of the Hebron agreements, but Israel’s Foreign Ministry later said there was no cancellation and that only planning for Jewish sites was addressed. The Palestinian Authority condemned the move as unlawful unilateral action, and Hebron’s mayor warned that unilateral changes breach existing understandings and could destabilize the region. Many observers view this as a step toward de facto annexation of parts of the West Bank.

Footage casts doubt on army’s account of Hebron infant shooting

An Israeli rights group, B'Tselem, released footage that it says contradicts the army's claim that soldiers fired after perceiving a vehicle approaching, showing the car slowing near two soldiers as it halted in Hebron and the wounded infant being carried away; the army says it is reviewing the video and previously stated the family were uninvolved civilians. The incident occurred amid rising West Bank violence since 2023 and has drawn scrutiny over soldiers' conduct and aid to the injured.

Hebron Shooting Ends in Death of 7-Month-Old Palestinian

Israeli troops in Hebron opened fire on a car carrying a seven-month-old Palestinian baby and his parents after the vehicle reportedly stopped per orders; the baby, Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, died and the parents were injured. The IDF says the vehicle appeared to move toward troops and is reviewing the incident, while the family disputes the account and calls for accountability. A separate attack in Tamoun killed a Palestinian couple and two children, underscoring ongoing West Bank violence, with the UN noting rising casualties in the area since the war began.

Hebron Mayor decries Israeli power expansion as West Bank gains civilian sway

Israel’s cabinet approved sweeping changes that extend civilian control into Palestinian-run areas of the West Bank, giving Israel authority over municipal services and planning for sites like Hebron’s Cave of the Patriarchs. Palestinian officials say the move amounts to de facto annexation and signals the end of renewed peace talks, with Hebron’s acting mayor Asma al-Sharabati lamenting that Palestinians are “not protected” as settlers and Israeli authorities tighten control. The development drew international condemnation and underscored concerns that the Oslo framework is eroding as the West Bank’s status shifts.
