The Israeli military is investigating after reservist soldiers shot and killed David Ben Avraham, a Palestinian who converted to Judaism to honor his grandfather for rescuing Jews during the 1929 Hebron riots.
In 1929, a series of violent pogroms targeted Jews in British-ruled Palestine, resulting in the deaths of 83 Jews and injuring hundreds.
