In the video, shot from a drone monitoring the protests against house demolitions that took place at the site, a car can be seen driving slowly along a dirt track in the village with police officers on either side of the road.
Towards the beginning of the video one of the officers appears to fire at least four shots at the car, which then accelerates towards other policemen.
Israeli policeman 1st Sgt. Erez Levi was killed in the suspected attack and the driver of the ramming vehicle, identified as Yaqoub Mousa Abu Al-Qia’an, was shot and killed, according to police.
