B'Tselem's account
Double amputee. Shot in the chest by Israeli security forces during the Return Protests near the Gaza perimeter fence, east of the town of ‘Abasan al-Jadida; thousands took part in the protests. During the protest, some of the demonstrators torched tires and threw stones at Israeli security forces stationed on the other side of the fence. When Abu Silmi was shot, he was sitting in a three-wheeler several hundred meters away from the fence.
