Keterangan B'Tselem (diterjemahkan dari bahasa Inggris)
Dua kendaraan pasukan keamanan Israel menghadang taksi yang dikemudikannya. Sekitar sepuluh anggota pasukan keamanan Israel – termasuk petugas Unit Polisi Khusus Israel (alias Unit Kontra-Terorisme) – turun, mengepung taksi, dan menembakinya dengan Barghouti di dalamnya. Mereka lalu menariknya keluar dari taksi, tampaknya setelah memborgolnya, dan membawanya pergi dari lokasi. Militer Israel memberi tahu keluarganya bahwa ia terluka parah dalam insiden itu dan syahid akibat lukanya di rumah sakit. Barghouti, anggota sayap militer Hamas, diduga terlibat dalam penembakan di halte tumpangan dekat permukiman Ofra pada 9 Desember 2018, yang melukai tujuh orang, termasuk ibu hamil dari bayi Amiad Yisrael Ish-Ran, yang tewas tiga hari kemudian. Israel menahan jenazahnya.
Teks asli
Two Israeli security forces vehicles blocked the way of a taxi he was driving. About ten members of the Israeli security forces – including officers of Israel’s Special Police Unit (a.k.a. Counter Terrorism Unit) – alighted, surrounded the taxi and fired at it, with Barghouti inside. They then pulled him out of the taxi, apparently after handcuffing him, and removed him from the scene. The Israeli military informed his family that he was critically wounded during the incident and died of his wounds in hospital. Barghouti, who was a Hamas military branch operative, was suspected of involvement in the shooting at the hitchhiking station near the settlement of Ofra on 9 December 2018, which injured seven people, including the pregnant mother of neonate Amiad Yisrael Ish-Ran, who died three days later. Israel is holding his body.
