Basim Jamal Abu Obeid used his tuk-tuk truck for everything before he
was injured.

Abu Obeid regularly participated in the Great March of Return protests
along the Israel-Gaza boundary fence and used his tuk-tuk to transfer
injured Palestinians to medical units.

On 29 June 2018, Israeli snipers shot Abu Obeid in the leg while he was
helping to evacuate another injured Palestinian.

“My situation was getting worse at the European Hospital [in Gaza]. My
family decided that I must travel,” Abu Obeid told The Electronic
Intifada.

After spending one month in Egypt, doctors decided to amputate his leg.

When Abu Obeid came home, his three children had trouble understanding
their father’s condition.

“When I returned to Gaza and I entered my house, my children were afraid
to approach me,” Abu Obeid said.

Abu Obeid is hoping to receive an advanced pair of crutches to ease his
pain.

20 years after the Israeli High Court ruled against torture, the secret police continue to use it.  

   



On 23 July 2019 we reported on the harassment that the residents of the
Palestinian neighborhood of al-‘Esawiyah, East Jerusalem, had been
subjected to by the Israeli police since June. During one of the raids,
Muhammad ‘Abeid - a 21-year-old neighborhood resident - was killed. Over
the summer, B’Tselem documented ten cases of police brutality against
local residents, three of which are shown in this video. Police
harassment is an inseparable part of the Israeli policy in East
Jerusalem, which seeks to perpetuate a Jewish majority in the city.
