The young Qaryut boy here has his entire right leg in a cast, expecting a potential surgery.

Team Nablus

At about 2 pm on May 16, a 13-year-old boy was shot at and beaten by settlers; he broke bones in his leg running from the shots at him and from being beaten . After falling, the boy was threatened with his life by settlers, but soldiers arrived and stopped the settlers from killing him before threatening the young boy with three guns while he lay injured and immobile on the ground.

Initial medical attention was not allowed for three hours as Israeli soldiers took the boy into their custody with the implication that the boy would be treated in the Israeli ambulance. However, three hours later, the boy had to be picked up, untreated, by the Red Crescent and taken to Rafedia hospital in Nablus.

When solidarity activists saw the boy, his entire right leg was wrapped in a cast. Later the boy described that he was sitting on his land which is close to an illegal Israeli settlement bordering Qaryut and famous for attacks such as olive tree torching. Settlers shot at him and he ran from the shots. When he fell, the settlers beat him and were going to kill him, but soldiers arrived and said that the settlers could not. Afterwards, the soldiers also shouted at the boy with guns pointed at him.

The boy may undergo surgery for his broken bones.

All facts storified and continuously updated. Read what Israeli ‘leaders’ have said and done even before (peace) talks and how their actions contradict the reality and ugly facts which they try to hide from you:
