Palestinian security sources, on Monday, identified a man who was shot, injured, and detained by Israeli forces the night before.The man is 35-year-old Ashraf Abu al-Huda, from Nablus, who his brother says is an undocumented worker who regularly travels to Israel without a permit.
Security sources told Ma’an News Agency that Abu al-Huda was shot several times by Israeli border police after he allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at an Israeli military jeep, near the village of Huwarra, south of Nablus.
But the man’s brother told Ma’an that Abu al-Huda left his home on Sunday to go to work in Israel.
Allam Abu al-Huda said his brother — who is married and a father of five children — regularly leaves for work in the evening in order to sneak through Israel’s separation wall.
Witnesses said Sunday that Israeli forces shot and critically injured a man in Huwarra.
The soldiers then took the man away in a military ambulance, locals said.
The area was declared a closed military zone.
An Israeli police spokesperson did not return calls seeking comment on Sunday.
