According to local sources, his body showed clear signs of direct and violent assault.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 23-year-old Mohammad Rizq Hussein Al-Shalabi succumbed to injuries sustained due to settler violence in Sinjil. He was shot in the chest with live ammunition on Friday and left to bleed for hours.
