Footage of the assassination showed a car riddled with bullet holes as a number of soldiers were standing next to it. The Israeli soldiers left the area after the attack.
The killing, which was described as an extrajudicial assassination, sparked widespread condemnation in the occupied territories and in the diaspora.
