#Najeeb Salem Sadeq

[thedisablednaturalist]

He was just scared..he was killed for just being scared. They just wanted an excuse to kill him, to kill all of them. They shot him in the neck. Because he didn't want to die and was scared. Right infront of his family. His family sobbing, begging, trying to get the soldiers to understand, and then watching them shoot their beloved in the neck. He was shot for being Palestinian and disabled. Just like so many other disabled Palestinians. Even if he had been quiet and stayed down they probably would've killed him anyway eventually. The saddest thing is he was right to be scared. Who wouldn't be?

I hope you are no longer scared, Najeeb Salem Sadeq. I hope your family finds peace and safety soon.

His family was shot at as they tried to move his body.

'He didn't understand, he was terrified': Disabled Palestinian man shot dead by IDF in Gaza hospital | ITV News

Please share this widely.

"A disabled Palestinian man was killed with a "direct shot to the neck" while being held in a hospital by Israeli soldiers on the Gaza Strip, ITV News understands.

The shooting of Najeeb Salem Sadeq occurred just hours before ITV News captured footage of an unarmed civilian being shot dead while walking in a group waving a white flag, in the same area of Khan Younis.

The 39-year-old, who had severe learning difficulties, had fled to the nearby Al Khair hospital with his parents and siblings after the apartment block where they lived was hit by an artillery strike.

There, Najeeb was separated from his father - who was led away by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers already stationed at the hospital - and was held with a group of women, children, and older people due to his disability.

His sister, Zainab, spoke about the moment Najeeb was killed after he became increasingly distressed by the sound of nearby gunfire - despite bystanders' attempts to communicate his vulnerability in both Hebrew and Arabic.

"We thought the hospital would be a shelter, but I realised we were trapped in there," she told ITV News.

"The soldier wanted us to duck - he was telling us to stay down, but (Najeeb) wasn't able to understand.

"My brother was saying: 'I am scared, I am scared. I don't want to die', and I was crying - but they shot him anyway. I tried to wake him up, but when I let him go, he fell to the floor. I knew he was dead."

ITV News tracked down Najeeb's neighbour who had known him since he was a child and pleaded with the IDF in Hebrew in an attempt to save his life.

"I told him that he was my neighbour and that his home was only 100 metres away from mine, I've known him for years," Aslan Al Farrah told ITV News.

"When it was 2am or 1.30am, Najeeb was screaming more and more because he hadn't taken his medication. He was freaking out from the gunfire noise and the bombing.

"A soldier called for me because I could communicate in Arabic and Hebrew.

"He said to me: 'silence this man who screams, he has got five chances, if he screams again, I will shoot him and silence him forever.'

"When Najeeb screamed, I made him sit down and he was saying: 'I don't want to be here, I don't want to be here'.

"Another soldier who was on the other entrance came and shot him, and he died," he added.

Najeeb's mother, who is almost blind, heard the gunshots but couldn't see what had happened to her son.

"When I told her Najeeb is dead, she groped his arms and legs and cried 'oh my son, oh my love'," his sister said.

"The soldiers left her to mourn for him. They saw her, but they didn't have any pity for her."

Zainab said multiple people had tried to explain to the Israeli soldiers that her brother had a disability and that he could not understand the instructions being given to him, a claim echoed by eye-witnesses who spoke to ITV News."

Rest in peace Najeem Salem Sadeq

Najeem Salem Sadeq, a 39 year old Palestinian man, was unfortunately and sadly killed by Israeli soldiers. He had severe learning difficulties and was in Al Khair hospitals. He was extremely distressed by the sounds of bombing and gunfire and could not understand the commands given to him by IDF. Despite many people telling the soldiers, in both Arabic and Hebrew, about Mr. Sadeq's condition, an IDF soldier still shot him in the neck.

The killing of this innocent man and all the other Palestinian martyrs is a vile and horrible thing. Remember him and all the other victims of this genocide and spread awareness about them as well as what's going on in Palestine. How many more Palestinian people have to suffer and be unjustly killed in order for world leaders and politicians to put a stop to this and call for a ceasefire? How much more violence and cruelty will Israel supporters and Zionists tolerate until they wake the fuck up? Please do not let the Palestinian peoples' suffering be in vain and remember the martyrs. From the river to the sea Palestine and its people WILL be free.

[...]

Last month, ITV News reported on multiple incidences of Palestinians being shot and killed while holding white flags - an international symbol of surrender.

Israeli officials maintain that IDF soldiers do not intentionally target civilians.

In response to the killing of Najeeb, an IDF spokesperson told ITV News: "In response to Hamas' barbaric attacks, the IDF is operating to dismantle Hamas military and administrative capabilities.

"In stark contrast to Hamas' intentional attacks on Israeli men, women, and children, the IDF follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm.

"Given the ongoing exchanges of fire, remaining in an active combat zone has inherent risks. The IDF will continue to counter threats while persisting to mitigate harm to civilians."
