According to Majdi’s family, the soldiers asked him if he wanted water, and, when he said yes, one of them pretended to be helping him to drink water. When he realized that it was gasoline and not water, the soldier forced him to drink out of it.
Issam Al-Muhtaseb, father of the youth, said that Israeli forces have detained his son and destroyed his own ID card. Then, they beat him on his back and stomach.

Majdi was moved back to his house, but reportedly still suffers from back-pain.
