The Palestine Chronicle reports that the head of the Jiljilya Village Council Fouad Moutee told Wafa (the Palestinian Press Agency) Abdelmajid As’ad was going home after a visit to his relatives when Israeli soldiers stopped his vehicle and pulled him out of it, blindfolded, handcuffed, and harassed him before leaving him in an under-construction building.
As’ad’s nephew, Mohammad, told Palestine TV that Israeli soldiers brutally assaulted his uncle in the under-construction home, then, after realizing that he was dead, they just left him on the ground and left the area.
This is so disgusting that it makes me want to destroy the entire Israeli army.
