UN envoy says ‘shocked’ by shooting death of Palestinian man

The United Nations’ envoy to the peace process expresses shock at the apparent killing of Omar al-Badawi, 22, earlier today by IDF soldiers during a clash in the al-Arroub refugee camp in the West Bank.

“Shocking to see the video today’s killing of Omar Badawi by #Israeli security forces in #Hebron in circumstances that would seem to indicate that he posed no threat to anyone,” Nickolay Mladenov tweets. “My deepest condolences to his family. Such acts must be thoroughly investigated.”
