A pattern of extrajudicial executions
The fatal shooting near Bab al-Amud forms part of the pattern of extrajudicial executions carried out by 'Israeli' forces against Palestinians under the pretext of alleged knife attacks.
Human rights groups and international observers have long documented a widespread pattern where 'Israeli' police and border officers use lethal force as a first resort against Palestinians, often leaving victims to bleed to death without medical assistance, even in situations where no immediate threat to life exists.
Bab al-Amud, a historic entrance to Jerusalem's Old City and a central public gathering point for Palestinians, remains heavily militarized by 'Israeli' forces, serving as a site of frequent harassment, arbitrary detentions, and fatal field executions.
