Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Justice Ministry probe has reportedly exonerated a police officer who shot dead a mentally ill Arab man, after he was dispatched to the scene in Haifa where the victim was brandishing a knife.
The ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department has determined that the officer, whose name has been barred from publication, acted in self defense after finding himself in a life-threatening situation, according to Channel 12 news.
