Israeli occupation closes investigation into martyrdom incident "Abu Soraya"

The Israeli occupation army closed the investigation into the martyrdom of Ibrahim Abu Soraya, a seat shot dead by Israeli forces, during protests near the Gaza Strip in December 2017.

The so-called "criminal investigation Unit" of the Israeli army was quoted Thursday by the media as claiming that after "questioning the soldiers and reviewing the video footage of the incident, no evidence was found that Abu Soraya was killed by direct fire from the Israeli army. "

However, the investigation indicated that at the beginning of the events on the day of the martyrdom of "Abu Soraya", Israeli forces conducted military action on the ground with the aim of dispersing the riots and firing live bullets at the lower part of the " rioters "at the border.

The Palestinian health ministry said at the time that Abu Soraya had died of live bullets in the upper part of his body.

On 15 December 2017, Ibrahim was martyred by Israeli occupation during confrontations between Palestinians and the occupying army on the eastern border of Gaza City.

Eyewitnesses, who were accompanied by Ibrahim at the time of his martyrdom, revealed that the martyr had been shot in the head directly during the confrontations.

The social media traded a video in which the young Palestinian appeared at the moment of his martyrdom on his wheelchair and the Palestinian flag in his lap.

As he appeared in a video before his martyrdom creeping and raising the Palestinian flag in front of the fence between Gaza and the occupation, he says that there is on the border to convey a message to the Israeli occupation army that "Earth is our land here ", and" We will not surrender to the president´s decision and we will continue to protest the border. "

Many Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights institutions have criticized the Israeli army´s lack of seriousness in investigating incidents of killings by Israeli soldiers or settlers against Palestinians.
