Israeli police officers secure the area of Lion's gate in Jerusalem's Old City, Saturday, May 30, 2020. Israeli police shot dead a Palestinian near Jerusalem's Old City who they had suspected was carrying a weapon but turned out to be unarmed.
Relatives identified the deceased man as Iyad Halak, 32. They said he suffered from autism and was heading to the school for students with special needs where he studied each day when he was shot.In a statement, Israeli police said they spotted a suspect “with a suspicious object that looked like a pistol.” When he failed to obey orders to stop, officers opened fire, the statement said. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld later said no weapon was found.
Palestinians and Israeli human rights groups have long accused Israeli security forces of using excessive force in some cases, either by killing individuals who could have been arrested or using lethal force when their lives were not in danger. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, whose daughter is autistic, said Halak’s death was “heartbreaking.”
The shooting came a day after Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank who they said had tried to ram them with his vehicle. No Israelis were wounded in either incident.

NabilahKhachab Doesn’t this sound familiar
Sick people

Where’s the coverage of daily rocket attacks on Israel from Palestinians? AP stoking the fires of violence as usual.
Peace will only happen when they have 2 states
“...mistakenly...” as always.
Y'all need to see this👇👇
The job of the media, push that agenda, the stupid will listen and follow.
Not America's problem...
Context this then the annexation of Palestinian land to the Isreali state. How about how Palestine is divided on two separate pieces of land without the basic necessities.
This is what Police was trying to prevent.
hangthebankers Jeez how bout those Israelis. They're acting just like the cops over here. Imagine that.
Yaw know Israel trains most of our officers right?

It's not the people, it's politics! Former US President Carter called it Apartheid. Gaza became the greatest concentration camp ever designed! No Human Rights honored, no mentioning on the news; incredible suffering in a kidnapped land! Read J Loveland, Holy Land - War and Peace.
All Israelis do is murder my people and you all sit there and pass judgment on us when we fight back.
No matter the scale of anger emanating from the Arab world, Israel will keep acting as it wishes. Whereas Jews are single minded,disciplined, purposeful, resolute and united, Arabs are disorganized, driven by religious fanaticism, without a unifying call for their salvation
I wonder why Israelis have to fear for their lives... Oh wait, because stabbing happen weekly. These people want to go back home to their families just as much as Palestinians do. Horrible situation, but no one understands the context.
Smh
This old technique used by terrorist to malign forces, It is well known. They use children, women and students to dupe. Outdated. World is fed up these terrorist and their supporters like Jehadist media all around the world. This nexus needs to be crackdown.
Where is the protesting...where are the riots?
The sad mistake drew condemnations not only from Arab residents & Leaders . Why make thing worst by misleading report. The angry condemnations came from nearly everyone who heard that sad story. Stop FakeNews !
America in one hand and Israel on the other 😡- killing of defenseless people...
ALIVE TODAY GLOBALLY: MUSLIMS: 1.8 BILLION JEWS: 15 MILLION WHO NEEDS DEFENDING? MUSLIMS OR JEWS?
A good day will come!
Because he had a bomb strapped to his body? I do not believe a word of this story. YOU LIE ABOUT ISRAEL, DEFEND ISLAM, PUT DOWN JEWS.
Damn pigs are just having a free for all this week
Certainly no condemnation from the west for such gross disregard to Palestinian life.
That's terrible.
Everywhere....
Timing seems coordinated with that’s going on here
I would say I’m shocked but it’s Israel and nothing shocks me regarding their abuse of Palestianians.
Stand by for the riots to begin
They should issue public apology and compensate the family.
The days when you're demolished are imminent, İsrael

Sounds like a very American thing for Israeli police to do
A more accurate headline than what Reuters put out earlier..
