Short Link:
At approximately 7:00 am on Monday June 10th 2013, Israeli Forces positioned near the separation fence east of Khan Younis, opened fire towards a number of rubble and gravel collectors near Sofa Crossing, east of Al Fokhari town, east of Khan Younis.
In the attack, Amer Mazen Shehda Abu Hadayid, 21, was shot and injured with a bullet entering his left shoulder and exiting his body through his upper chest.
Amer was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Gaza European Hospital.
According to Sahir Abu Hadayid’s affidavit to Al Mezan, the two, together with their third brother, Yassir, 19, were collecting rubbles at a distance of 100 meters from the separation fence.
After spending less than an hour at work, at approximately 7:00 am, Sahir saw an Israeli military jeep idling inside the separation fence.
Four soldiers got out of the jeep and one of them spoke in Arabic, saying, “leave this area”.
We heard gunshots and we rushed to escape from the area.
A few moments later, Amer told me that he had been shot and he fell to the ground.
I saw blood on his shirt and immediately my brother and I brought him to Gaza European Hospital.
He was admitted to the intensive care unit.
