Teks asli
Hit in the lower back, from behind, by Israeli soldiers’ gunfire, from about 80 meters away. He was running away, near the entrance to the refugee camp, after other young men had thrown stones at a military post at the entrance to the settlement of Beit El. The soldiers dragged Nakhleh away by the arms and legs, and denied him medical treatment for about 15 minutes. He died of his injuries shortly after.
