[IsraelTimes] PLFP terror group mourns death of 'fallen fighter Raed al-Salihi,' who was shot by soldiers during an arrest raid in August
| Either we missed the arrest or the gentleman's name and affiliation were unknown when the arrest was reported, because this is the only report we have of arrests in Deheishe in August. |
A Paleostinian official said Sunday that a 21-year-old Paleostinian man, Raed al-Salihi, has died of wounds he incurred during an arrest by Israeli soldiers in August.
According to Issa Qaraqe, head of the Paleostinian Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs, Salihi, who was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine terror group, was placed in durance vile
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
in his home in the Deheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem on August 9.
During his arrest, Salihi was reportedly shot and critically maimed by IDF soldiers. Qaraqe said in a statement that Salihi was shot five times at close range.
He was being treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
A spokesperson for the hospital confirmed Salihi’s death.
The IDF said it was looking into the incident and was not immediately able to comment.
An image of Salihi holding a PFLP flag was shared widely on Paleostinian media.
The PFLP’s armed wing, the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades, said it "mourned" the death of the "heroic fallen fighter Raed al-Salihi," in a statement published on its website.
