Maelezo ya B'Tselem (imetafsiriwa kutoka Kiingereza)
Magari mawili ya vikosi vya usalama vya Israel yalizuia njia ya teksi aliyokuwa akiendesha. Takriban wanachama kumi wa vikosi vya usalama vya Israel – wakiwemo maafisa wa Kikosi Maalum cha Polisi cha Israel (kinachojulikana pia kama Kikosi cha Kupambana na Ugaidi) – walishuka, wakaizingira teksi na kuifyatulia risasi, Barghouti akiwa ndani. Kisha walimtoa ndani ya teksi, inaonekana baada ya kumfunga pingu, na kumwondoa eneo la tukio. Jeshi la Israel liliiarifu familia yake kwamba alijeruhiwa vibaya wakati wa tukio hilo na alifariki kutokana na majeraha yake hospitalini. Barghouti, aliyekuwa mwanachama wa tawi la kijeshi la Hamas, alishukiwa kuhusika katika ufyatuaji risasi kwenye kituo cha kuombea lifti karibu na makazi ya walowezi ya Ofra tarehe 9 Desemba 2018, uliowajeruhi watu saba, akiwemo mama mjamzito wa mtoto mchanga Amiad Yisrael Ish-Ran, aliyefariki siku tatu baadaye. Israel inashikilia mwili wake.
Maandishi asilia
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.
