An Arab activist of the radical leftist NGO B'Tselem who filmed Elor Azariya shooting a wounded terrorist in Hevron in March testified against the soldier at the Jaffa military court on Wednesday morning.

Activist's son arrested by Azariya

Azariya's lawyer Eyal Baserglick then questioned the Arab activist, revealing a connection between the shoemaker and Azariya.

"Is it true that your 17-year-old son Aouni was arrested by the accused (Azariya) and the deputy platoon commander on 2.2.16, even before the incident?," asked Baserglick, mentioning a date in early February predating the incident by just over a month.

Abu Shamsiyeh did not deny the arrest, but claimed he was unaware Azariya was involved.

"My son was arrested and I don't know by who exactly from the army, I don't know what was attributed to him. He returned home after he was arrested. We live in Tel Rumedia so it is expected that every one of us will be arrested. If there was something against my son he would have been tried," claimed the activist.

In his comments Abu Shamsiyeh also tried to explain why the film was broken up into short clips, saying, "I also transferred the video to Reuters. I didn't film continuously because at the start the zoom wasn't in focus. Most of our videos are not continuous."
