| Tomer Hazan |
(Scroll down for video) A video has emerged in which an Israeli soldier is seen being lured into a Palestinian city before he was murdered, according to video uploaded to the Internet.
Nidal Amar was charged with kidnapping and murdering soldier Tomer Hazan. The security camera video from a Qalqilya shopping center shows the two getting out of a taxi and crossing a security fence.
The security camera video also shows that Hazan and his murderer, who was illegally in Israel and worked with Hazan at a restaurant in Bat Yam, entered the city and disappeared.
On Friday, Amar was charged for the murder of Hazan. "I want a second Shalit," Amar’s brother said.
Noor Amar, who is serving in an Israeli prison for terrorist activities, asked his brother Nidal to kidnap a soldier so they can use the incident as a bargaining chip to get him out of jail just like Shalit.
Noor instructed his brother to kidnap the soldier and hide him in a cave, but stressed that he should be kept alive for a future prisoner exchange agreement.
When the two arrived in the Palestinian city, a man dressed as a Palestinian security officer yelled at the soldier to identify himself. He was handcuffed and blindfolded.
He was then taken to an olive grove where Nidal Amar tied a belt around Hazan's throat and strangled him.
After Amar was sure that the soldier was dead he dumped the body into a well and covered Hazan with rocks.
