HAYB
Taysir Hayb
Taysir Hayb was a sergeant in the Israel Defense Forces who shot and killed activist Tom Hurndall. Taysir Hayb was sentenced to 11 and a half years for manslaughter, of which he will serve 8 years.
Hayb claimed he had shot at a man in military fatigues although photographic evidence clearly showed Hurndall was wearing a bright orange jacket denoting he was a foreigner. Hayb was an award-winning marksman and his rifle had a telescopic sight. He claimed to have aimed four inches from Hurndall's head, 'but he moved'. Hayb said a policy of shooting at unarmed civilians existed at the time.
His sister is Amira al Hayb, the first female Bedouin soldier in the IDF.
