The JTA reported the incident as having occurred on October 13 , 1929 stating " Great excitement prevailed in Jerusalem today over the murder of Musa Isdeb , an Arab from a village near Hebron , who was killed at Herod ’s Gate ... It is presumed that the Arab is a victim of inner political enmities between Arab factions , the murdered man supposedly being active in propaganda against the Grand Mufti . " A follow-up article from October 22 , 1929 called the incident a blood feud " between the family of the late Mousa Adeb , founder of the Arab peasant party and opponent of the Grand Mufti , and the clan of Amin El Husseini . " Hadeib was the first Arab public figure who was assassinated and took place only two months following the 1929 Palestine riots
