Israeli police absolved in killing of Palestinian at Al-Aqsa

Israeli authorities said Thursday that an internal investigation into the killing of a 26-year-old Palestinian citizen of Israel earlier this month at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site found no wrongdoing by police.
With several details of the incident in question, the case has sparked outrage from Arab lawmakers and rights groups.
The Israeli state attorney’s office closed the case on Thursday, saying that police acted “lawfully in self-defense” when they shot and killed Mohammed Alasibi, a Palestinian citizen of Israel from a Bedouin village in the country’s south. He was fatally shot at the entrance to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem on April 1.
