Autopsy finds Bedouin man killed by police was shot twice from behind — report
Initial results show Sanad Salaam al-Harbad suffered gunshot wounds to his back and buttocks, though cop who opened fire insists Rahat resident was shooting at security forces
A Bedouin man who was shot dead earlier this week by police was hit with two bullets, both of which struck him from behind, the Kan public broadcaster reported Wednesday.
Police said they opened fire when Sanad Salaam al-Harbad aimed a gun at them at point-blank range during the firefight in the southern Negev city of Rahat.
But the al-Harbad family has disputed the police account. Al-Harbad, who works as an electrical contractor in the wealthy central city of Ra’anana, had merely left his home to drive up north when police showed up, according to his family.
Initial results from the autopsy showed that al-Harbad was shot in the back and buttocks, Kan reported. Examinations have not so far been able to tell at what range al-Harbad was shot.
The results of the autopsy will be handed over the Justice Ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department, which has launched a probe of the incident.
