An 80-year-old Palestinian man, Omar Abdul Majeed Asaad, suffered from barbaric Israeli brutality and was left to die in a building under construction.

The head of the municipal council in the village of Jiljilya, Fouad Fattoum, said that the old Palestinian man was martyred after being cruelly arrested by the Israeli occupation forces, which stormed the village.

Fattoum provided detailed information about the crime, stressing that Assad was arrested with his hands violently tied behind his back with black zip-tie handcuffs, inflicting injuries and unbearable pain on the old man.

The attack was heinous, as 80-year-old Omar Assaad was blindfolded, beaten and assaulted, before being left lying on the ground in an under-construction building until he passed away.
