Witnesses describe killing of 'unarmed' Hijazi by Israeli police in Jerusalem
Early this morning in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Abu Tor, Israeli police shot and killed Mutaz Hijazi, who they claim shot far-right settler Yehuda Glick last night. Witnesses said that plain-clothes Israeli police in unmarked vehicles and uniformed police arrived before 6 am. They took positions around the house and stormed it. On the roof, Hijazi, 32, was shot dead. Police officials claim that a firefight took place, however, witnesses dismissed the official narrative. "I saw everything. He didn't have a weapon or a gun,” said one neighbor who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of police reprisals. "He was on the roof, so the police could have captured him but they didn't want to. They wanted to kill him,” he added.
