Killing of Ahmad Erekat
2020 killing in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict
Summary
Ahmad Mustafa Erekat was a 26-year-old Palestinian man who was shot and killed by Israeli police after his vehicle rammed into one of the barriers at a military checkpoint near Abu Dis, a village in the West Bank, on 23 June 2020. In the CCTV footage that was released after the incident, Erekat is seen slowly driving up to the checkpoint and then turning his vehicle and crashing it into a group of officers standing near the kiosk; a female police officer is struck head-on and falls against an adjacent van. He subsequently exits the vehicle and walks backwards away from the checkpoint with his hands in the air, after which he is shot several times by the other officers. Erekat was a nephew of Palestinian politician Saeb Erekat and a cousin of Palestinian-American attorney Noura Erekat and Palestinian-American YouTuber FouseyTube.

deliberately pointy partial revert by me - the point - > that was an odd way to summarize the AP paragraph. what does the rest of the paragraph say? is that not part of the context to be summarized? according to AP's balanced approach it is. sampling and summarization of source content shouldn't be skewed.

Only 1 party has ever been accused of killing Erekat.
Ahmad is also accused

Perpetrator implies guilt. Erekat was killed, but calling the shooters "perpetrators" implies they did a crime. So we should just leave Perpetrator off the infoxbox.

Erekat was both a perpetrator and a victim
