After officers cleared, Erdan urges reopening of original Umm al-Hiran police probe

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan welcomes the closing of the internal affairs investigation into the deadly shooting of Yaqoub Mousa al-Qia’an in January 2017 during the demolition of the Negev Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran.

In a short statement, Erdan urges the reopening of the police’s own investigation into the incident, which was frozen when the Justice Ministry’s probe of police officers’ actions was opened last year.
