An Israeli occupation special force stormed the home of Mohammad Al-Shaham family in Kafr yesterday, and shot him at point blank in the head, and left him bleeding on the ground for more than forty minutes, before arresting him, to announce at a later time that he was killed, according to what his father Ibrahim Shaham said
The Israeli police said in a statement that: “the shooting happened after the Palestinian killed stabbed with a knife one of the officers during a home raid searching for weapons, but none of the Israeli soldiers were injured.”
The statement reported, “an Israeli paramedic, who accompanied the border guard officers, provided first aid to the wounded, and the latter was then taken to receive treatment, but he was pronounced dead later, succumbing to his injuries.”
