Case closed against bar mitzvah hike chaperones who shot Palestinian dead
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Central District Attorney’s Office says it is closing its investigation into two Israeli settlers who chaperoned a bar mitzvah hike in the northern West Bank last year that ended in deadly clashes with local Palestinians.
The two fathers were probed on suspicions of manslaughter after one of them shot dead 48-year-old Mahmoud Za’al Odeh from the village of Qusra.
State prosecutors say in a statement that no charges will be brought against the chaperones as they were acting in self defense.
