A video has emerged showing a man in military fatigues shooting and injuring a mentally disabled Palestinian near the West Bank city of Hebron. The man, identified as Tarek Abu Abed, was stopped by three men in military attire who demanded identification. Despite his obvious special needs, an argument ensued, and the situation escalated when Tarek approached one of the men. A gunshot was heard, and Tarek collapsed to the ground. He was later transported to the hospital for surgery. The incident highlights the ongoing violence in the West Bank, with hundreds of Palestinians killed by Israeli troops or settlers in recent months.
