Settler Shoots Palestinian Teenager in East Jerusalem

posted on: Feb 5, 2015

A settler shot and injured a 17-year-old Palestinian teenager in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan on Monday, witnesses said. Muhammad Yusuf Burqan, 17, was shot while tending to a small herd of sheep in the Wadi Yasul area of the neighborhood, his cousin told Ma‘an. “I came back to check up on Muhammad and found him lying on the ground surrounded by about 15 settlers, one of whom had a gun in his hand. I tried to access Muhammad and give him first aid, but the settler with the gun threatened to shoot me, while the others started to swear at me,” Suheib Burqan said. He used his mobile phone to call his brother, who took Muhammad to the al-Maqasid hospital for treatment. The settlers fled the scene before his brother arrived.
