In the testimony of his brother, Akel Sheikh Khalil: "Masked gunmen, in two black Isuzu and Magnum vehicles, kidnapped my brother Emad, while he was walking in a street leading to the family house.
They led him to an open area east to Annawras touristic resort and shot him.
One of the aggressors called me from my brother's mobile phone to inform me that my brother is injured, and he refused to identify himself.
After our relatives and friends arrived to that place, they found Emad bleeding.
They transported him to Kamal Odwan hospital, then to Ashifa hospital, from where he was transferred to Israeli hospitals, where medical sources described his injury as serious".
