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. The photos of the body turned out to be a pile of planks and cloth. The incident According to the human rights organization Amnesty's report which is based on two witness statements, and the IDF's report, the events that led to the killing of Hashlamon were as follows: Hashlamon was on her way to school and had to pass through a checkpoint manned by Israeli soldiers on Shuhada Street in Hebron. The checkpoint, known as Checkpoint 56 or Shoter, was a small pedestrian crossing limiting Palestinians' movements in the vicinity of Hebron's Jewish settlements. She arrived at the checkpoint 7:40 in the morning. She was wearing a black niqab that covered her body and her face. A metal detector beeped when she tried to pass through the checkpoint and she was ordered to open her bag for a search. She was standing about three meters from the soldiers. She opened her bag and showed it to them who shouted at her, causing her to freeze. According to the witness Fawaz Abu Aisheh, 34, who had stood close to Hashlamon in the checkpoint and spoken to her, the soldiers ordered her to "go back" in Hebrew - a language she didn't seem to know. Abu Aisheh who spoke Hebrew tried to mediate with the soldiers but they ignored his attempts. He also tried unsuccessfully to get Hashlamon to leave the checkpoint. Four more soldiers arrived at the scene and pointed their guns at Hashlamon and Abu Aisheh. One of them fired a warning shot at the ground. The soldiers pushed Abu Aisheh away and refused his offer for translation help. At this point Hashlamon was behind metal rails separating her from the soldiers. The soldier who shot the warning shot, shot Hashlamon in her left leg causing
