A Water Technician Murdered

"The Palestinian victim approached the soldiers in a 'menacing manner', while holding 'what appeared to be an iron bar,' before he was gunned down, the Israeli army claimed.

If the 'iron bar' claim was true, it might be related to the fact that Salim was a water technician. Indeed, the Palestinian worker was on his way to open the pipes that supply water to Beita and other adjacent areas."
