Killing of Hadeel al-Hashlamon

Hadeel al-Hashlamon was an 18-year-old Palestinian woman who was shot and killed on September 22, 2015 by an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint in Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. According to human rights groups she was killed when she didn't pose a threat and her killing was therefore an extrajudicial execution. According to the Israeli army, the IDF, Hashlamon was shot while trying to stab a soldier, but pro-Palestinian groups contested this, saying there is no video or photographic evidence of the moment of the shooting. Hashlamon was one of the first deaths of the 2015–2016 wave of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
