IDF Investigation: Palestinian Convert to Judaism Mistakenly Killed
IDF soldiers mistakenly killed a 63-year-old Palestinian convert to Judaism, David Ben Avraham, near Elazar in the West Bank, suspecting him of being a security risk. The man, known as Saamach Zeitoun before his conversion, did not exhibit any threatening behavior, but soldiers became suspicious when he got off a bus near Jewish residences. After finding a kitchen knife in his bag, they shot him, despite no evidence of an attempted attack. The incident raises questions about the soldiers' actions and adds to a series of wrongful mistaken killings in the region.
