‘Israel’ closes probe into Israeli officers’ killing of Palestinian doctor in Jerusalem

Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israel’s State Prosecutor reportedly closed on Thursday the probe into the two Israeli police officers who killed a Palestinian doctor in occupied Jerusalem two weeks ago.
On Thursday evening, Israel’s State Prosecutor’s Office alleged that Muhammad Al-Osaibi tried to grab the weapon of one of the police officers stationed at the Chain Gate (Bab al-Silsila), and managed to fire two bullets before the Israeli officers shot him dead, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
The Prosecutor Officer claimed that in light of “solid and clear evidence” no offense has been committed.
State Prosecutor Amit Aisman accepted the position of the Justice Ministry’s police misconduct unit and the deputy state prosecutor for criminal affairs.
The police officers, according to Aisman, did not have time to turn on their body cameras and an investigation by the police revealed that the area where the shooting took place was not recorded by the many cameras in the area.
Haaretz quoted an Israeli police official as saying, “It is illogical that there is no documentation of the incident,” and that “it is not true that there are no CCTV cameras at Bab al-Silsilah.”
Meanwhile, the former occupation’s Police Chief in Jerusalem, Yair Yitzhaki, stated, “I do not believe that there were no surveillance cameras that documented the incident. I myself installed CCTV cameras in the area during my work period.”
On March 31, al-Osaibi was shot dead at around 11:00 pm by well-armed Israeli forces stationed at the Chain Gate, one of Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque gates, from a very short distance after he intervened to help a Palestinian woman who was being assaulted by Israeli forces and forced to leave mosque.
Al-Osaibi is a 26-year-old resident of Hura town in 1948-occupied Palestine and recently finished studying medicine in Romania. He was killed when he went to pray at al-Aqsa Mosque in the holy month of Ramadan.
Eyewitnesses said 20 gunshots were heard being fired in less than a minute, leaving al-Osaibi wounded and lying on the floor near the Chain Gate.
Family members have also accused Israeli forces of unjustly killing their son.
