The young man from Jerusalem, Maher Salah, tells Tel Aviv Tribune Net the details of how he and his brother were severely beaten by the occupation army and police, after a soldier confirmed that he was Arab.
Salah says, while traces of beating appear on his face and body, that he was returning to Jerusalem near the shrine of the Prophet Moses, east of the city, coinciding with the fall of Iranian missiles on Israel, so he stopped on the right of the road to watch them.
He added that a bus stopped behind his car and it turned out to be carrying soldiers who got off looking for cover in response to the sirens, but its driver isolated him and his brother and pulled his gun on them, forced them to lie on the ground, and beat them until his brother fell into a coma, so they asked to call the police because he and his brother are Jerusalemites.
The two young men were surprised when a large force of police arrived and began to brutalize them until they lost consciousness. They were transferred to the Maale Adumim settlement, east of Jerusalem, before they were released and taken to the hospital.
Salah remains in Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, suffering from a broken nose and a head bleed.
