The Israeli military, according to Israeli media sources, has admitted that its soldiers mistakenly killed Hamdan Tawfiq Arda, 60, after initially claiming that he had deliberately tried to ram his vehicle into soldiers.

Eyewitnesses told Maan News Agency that it looked like a car accident, and that the driver was startled by the military presence, and tried to turn away from them. Sources added that one soldier was injured, but it was not from the car driven by the Palestinian man.

Arda was shot dead by Israeli soldiers, after what the Israeli military initially stated was an “attempt to ram his car into soldiers”. The military then changed their statement, telling the Jerusalem Post that they believed it was an accident.

Arda was driving his vehicle in the city of Al-Bireh when Israeli soldiers shot him, mortally wounding him, then reportedly refused to allow him medical treatment, reported WAFA News Agency.

The Israeli military had just finished invading the industrial zone of Al-Bireh city, in the central occupied West Bank, in an apparent search for the suspects of the killing of two Israeli soldiers earlier Thursday.
