A Palestinian man who was killed by Israeli forces on Sunday near Ramallah was left under an Israeli military Jeep for three hours before he died, Palestinian Maan news agency reported on Monday.

The agency quoted an eyewitness Nabil Abd al-Karim as recounting the martyrdom of Iyad Ghuneimat, 22, who was killed by occupation forces in Kufr Malik village a day earlier.

Ghuneimat was heading to his work in a poultry farm when Israeli forces shot him in the back and chased him down as he tried to return home.

The jeep then hit Ghuneimat pushing him into a wall that collapsed on him and caused the jeep to overturn on him as well, Abd al-Karim said.

Soldiers then vacated the jeep and left Ghuneimat under it with his back crushed and his leg completely severed, he added.

He was left under the jeep for three hours screaming in pain while gas and oil from the jeep dripped over him and the vehicle crushing his body, the witness added according to Maan.

The occupation forces prevented any assistance or medics to come to aid Ghunaimat for three hours, Abd al-Karim said, adding that residents of the village then attacked Israeli soldiers with their bare hands and managed to lift the jeep from over him, but it was too late as Ghunaimat had already died.

Thousands participated in his funeral which started from his village’s mosque to its graveyard where he was laid to rest.
