HEBRON, June 2, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli soldiers on Saturday briefly detained activist Aref Jaber who documented and filmed the fatal shooting by the soldiers of Palestinian worker Rami Sabarneh, 36, earlier this day in Hebron, in southern West Bank.

WAFA correspondent said the soldiers stopped Jaber and briefly detained him and confiscated his mobile phone which he used to document the killing of Sabarneh.

Last week, Israeli officials, including “Defense” Minister Avigdor Lieberman, proposed a bill in the Knesset to ban the collection of evidence relating to the human rights and other abuses committed by Israeli army.

The move came at the same time Israeli government officials announced thousands of new settlement units in the West Bank after the killing of more than Palestinian 60 protesters on May 14, the same day the United States moved its embassy to Jerusalem.
