Idier Wahid Taysir Hayb (or al-Heib) (Arabic: تيسير الهيب; Hebrew: תייסיר אל-היב) is a Bedouin Israeli sergeant, convicted of manslaughter, who shot International Solidarity Movement civilian activist Tom Hurndall, while on duty in Gaza on April 11, 2003.
However, photographic evidence clearly showed that Hurndall was wearing a bright orange jacket, denoting he was a foreigner.
[1][2][3][6] In May 2004, Taysir Hayb went on trial for manslaughter in the death of Tom Hurndall, obstruction of justice and unbecoming behaviour.
[2] Hayb was to be released in August 2010, after an army committee headed by Advocate-General Avichai Mandelblit decided to shorten his sentence due to good behavior.
[7] The army committee dismissed arguments from military prosecutors that the early release could harm relations between Israel and the United Kingdom, and said he "no longer posed any threat to society in their view.
