'''Sheikh Musa Hadeib''' was the head of [Mount Hebron](/source/Mount_Hebron) farmers' party and a founder of the Zionist-supported [Muslim National Associations](/source/Muslim_National_Associations). He was from the village of [Dawaymeh](/source/Dawaymeh) near [Hebron](/source/Hebron).<ref name="shadows">[Cohen, Hillel](/source/Hillel_Cohen) ''[Army of Shadows: Palestinian collaboration with Zionism, 1917–1948](/source/Army_of_Shadows%3A_Palestinian_Collaboration_with_Zionism%2C_1917%E2%80%931948)''. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2009. p. 15-17</ref>

In October 1929, Musa Hadeib was killed near [Herod's Gate](/source/Herod's_Gate) in [Jerusalem](/source/Jerusalem), accused of collaborating with the Zionists.<ref name="shadows59">Cohen, Hillel ''Army of Shadows: Palestinian collaboration with Zionism, 1917–1948''. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2009. p. 59</ref> His killers were never apprehended, but both his family and the Zionist Executive claimed that the followers of [Amin al-Husseini](/source/Amin_al-Husseini), the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the leader of the [Supreme Muslim Council](/source/Supreme_Muslim_Council), were responsible.<ref name="shadows59"/><ref name="morris">[http://www.thenation.com/article/shadowplays Shadowplays], by Neve Gordon, ''The Nation'', March 24, 2008</ref> His killers, according to Zionist intelligence, were three men dressed as women, from the Maraqa clan of Hebron.<ref name=Trusth>[http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Research_11/The_Tangled_Truth_printer.shtml The Tangled Truth], By Benny Morris, ''The New Republic''; 7/5/08{{Clarify|date=July 2011}}</ref>

The JTA reported the incident as having occurred on October 13, 1929 stating "Great excitement prevailed in Jerusalem today over the murder of Musa Isdeb, an Arab from a village near Hebron, who was killed at Herod’s Gate... It is presumed that the Arab is a victim of inner political enmities between Arab factions, the murdered man supposedly being active in propaganda against the Grand Mufti."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jta.org/1929/10/16/archive/murder-of-arab-causes-great-excitement|title=Murder of Arab Causes Great Excitement|website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency|date=16 October 1929|access-date=2017-05-10}}</ref>

A follow-up article from October 22, 1929 called the incident a blood feud "between the family of the late Mousa Adeb, founder of the Arab peasant party and opponent of the Grand Mufti, and the clan of Amin El Husseini."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jta.org/1929/10/22/archive/feud-threatens-between-family-of-murdered-arab-and-grand-muftis-clan|title=Feud Threatens Between Family of Murdered Arab and Grand Mufti's Clan|website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency|date=22 October 1929|access-date=2017-05-10}}</ref>
