\u201cAnybody who meets Tarek can tell immediately he has special needs,\u201d Diaa Abu Abed said. \u201cHis brain works like a child\u2019s does.\u201d <\/p>\n
Diaa Abu Abed identified the men who stopped his brother as Israeli soldiers. Some Israeli settlers are also known to wear military fatigues and have access to military assault rifles. <\/p>\n
When Tarek Abu Abed told the men that he did not have identification, an argument ensued, according to his brother. <\/p>\n
That is where the video, which is filmed down a street from the incident, begins. It shows three men in military fatigues standing over a man who is on his\u00a0hands and\u00a0knees, and next to a man in a red shirt, identified by Diaa as Tarek\u2019s friend. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe man in the video wearing red came to defend him to tell the Israeli soldiers that my brother has special needs,\u201d Diaa Abu Abed said. \u201cHe\u2019s known amongst the community for his mental disabilities. The soldiers refused to listen.\u201d <\/p>\n
The men had their rifles aimed at Tarek Abu Abed, and shouting can be heard. Abu Abed appears to be attempting to stand up as several local residents look on. He then stands up and approaches one of the men, seemingly agitated. A second man then approaches Abu Abed from behind. <\/p>\n
A gunshot rings out, and Abu Abed collapses to the ground. He writhes in pain, as two of the men continue to point their weapons at him. <\/p>\n
Diaa Abu Abed said that an onlooker called him, and he arrived on the scene soon after. <\/p>\n
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said in a statement on Tuesday that it had transported a 34-year-old man with a bullet wound in his leg from Qalqas to the hospital. <\/p>\n
Tarek Abu Abed suffered heavy bleeding and has undergone surgery on his leg, his brother said. <\/p>\n
The Israel-Hamas war has increasingly spilled over into the West Bank with settler attacks and clashes leaving hundreds of Palestinians dead. <\/p>\n
At least 256 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops or Israeli settlers in the West Bank and east Jerusalem since October 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. <\/p>\n\n
