Amnesty and B'Tselem investigations The human rights organization Amnesty investigated the killing of Hashlamon and concluded in a report issued a few days after the incident that the evidence indicated that it was an extrajudicial execution. It claimed that Hashlamon "at no time posed a sufficient threat to the soldiers to make their use of deliberate lethal force permissible" and that it was the latest in a long line of unlawful killings carried out by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank with impunity. The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem also investigated the killing and found that there was no justification for shooting Hashlamon with multiple bullets. However, the organization did not claim that the incident was an extrajudicial killing. IDF investigation The IDF conducted an investigation into the killing of Hashlamon. In its report issued about a month after the killing, it claimed that she did have a knife, that the soldiers "acted with restraint, telling her to lower her knife repeatedly for several moments" and that shooting her was justified. However, the investigation also claimed that the soldiers "could have aimed lower and fired fewer bullets than they did." The report concluded that the unit did not commit any criminal wrongdoing. Responses In a report published in October 2015, Euro-Med listed the killing of Hashlamon as one example of "Israel's arbitrary killings and its system of structural violence." The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on January 20, 2016 on issues of concern in the occupied Palestinian territories. The killing of Hashlamon was mentioned as one example in which "Israeli security forces, sometimes allegedly acting with disproportionate force, to the extent that extrajudicial killings are strongly suspected." On February 17, 2016, nine American congressmen and Senator Patrick Leahy wrote a letter to the US State Department inquiring about "specific allegations of gross violations of human rights" by the security forces of Egypt and Israel. Among the allegations listed were the killing of Hadeel al-Hashlamon. They asked the State Department to determine whether the reports were credible and if so whether they would trigger the Leahy Law, a law that can cause the suspension of military aid to countries found guilty of human rights violations.
