In their affidavit to Al Mezan, Salah’s relatives stated that Salah’s  friends carried him about 1 Km then he was admitted to Kamal Odwan Hospital by a car of one of the  farmers who was there. After that, Salah was referred  to the intensive care unit at Al Shifa Hospital due to his critical injury.
