*) His name romanized also “Odeh Hadalin”; in Arabic عودة هدالين.

>> “... My dear friend Awdah was slaughtered this evening. He was standing in front of the community center in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time,” said Basel Adra, activist and Palestinian co-director of #NoOtherLand.

>> [Israeli co-filmmaker Yuval] Abraham said that local residents identified Hathaleen’s killer as Yinon Levi, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied #WestBank. Levi was sanctioned … under the Biden administration in April 2024, ...

>> President Donald Trump lifted the U.S. sanction on Levi and other Israeli settlers and settler groups on his first day in office this January.

(BBC spells “Odeh Hathaleen”)

>> Mattan Berner-Kadish, an Israeli-American activist at the scene, told the BBC that … on Monday, a bulldozer from a nearby Israeli settlement was driven through private Palestinian land, crushing a sewage pipe, multiple olive trees and two fences.

>> Berner-Kadish and other activists, including [Odeh] Hathaleen's cousin Ahmad, ran to block the bulldozer. … the driver hit Ahmad in the neck and shoulder with a drill …

>> While attending to Ahmad's injuries, Berner-Kadish heard a pop. Running back …, he saw Hathaleen lying bleeding from a gunshot wound and Levy, the only settler he saw, holding a gun.

>> In a video …, a man identified as Levy is seen holding a pistol with a bulldozer behind him, ... Levy pushes at one man, who pushes back. Levy then raises his pistol and shoots ahead of him …

Umm Al-Khair mourns activist slain by Israeli settler | Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham and Oren Ziv (+972 Magazine, 2025-07-29)

>> Yesterday evening, an Israeli settler shot dead the Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen in his community of Umm Al-Khair, in the southern occupied West Bank. Known to many international solidarity activists and foreign diplomats for his steadfast non-violent resistance to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian communities of Masafer Yatta, the 31-year-old was critically wounded by a bullet that penetrated his lung, and he died before reaching the hospital.

>> [the suspected killer] Levi claimed he opened fire in Umm Al-Khair because he had been assaulted by “dozens of rioters” …

>> However, an examination by +972 and Local Call of around 20 videos from the incident makes clear that it was the settlers who attacked the Palestinian residents, not the other way around…

Israeli Zionism is a structure of lies, held together by lies, on a foundation of lies. Little wonder then that the killer lied and the Zionist authorities pretend to believe him.
