Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Yacoub Mousa[1] Abu Al-Qia'an (also translit: al-Kiyan, Qi'an, Alkian,[2] and al-Kaeean[3]) was a 47-year-old Israeli Bedouin schoolteacher who was killed by the police while houses in his home village Umm al-Hiran were being demolished in January 2017.[4] Following his killing, the police and several Israeli ministers, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, falsely accused Abu Al-Qia'an of having been a terrorist and affiliated with the Islamic State. In September 2020, Netanyahu apologized to Abu al-Qia'an's family, claiming that the police had misled him.[5]
The police were not only faulted on for shooting Abu Al-Qia'an and then not providing medical assistance, thereby, allowing him to bleed to death but also for labeling him a terrorist without proof, for allegedly shooting a sponge-tipped bullet at the head of Arab-Israeli politician Ayman Odeh who was at the scene, and for suppressing evidence that would have cleared Abu Al-Qia'an.
