Palestinian rights group slams mutilation of Palestinian child’s body dragged by Israeli bulldozer
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) has vehemently condemned Israel’s military assault on the occupied West Bank, including the “brutal” mutilation and killing of Majed Fida Abu Zina, 17, from the Far’a refugee camp.
In a statement, PCHR described how Israeli forces left Abu Zina to bleed out for approximately 1.5 hours after shooting him in the leg, neck and chest during a raid on Far’a late on Wednesday night.
“At around 2:30am [23:30 GMT], [the Israeli army] brought in a bulldozer and began desecrating the boy’s body … before dragging and throwing him,” PCHR added.
It was not until around 6:45am (03:45 GMT) that Palestinians were able to retrieve Abu Zina’s “disfigured and unrecognisable” body after Israeli forces withdrew, the statement added.

The Israeli forces have bulldozed 45 agricultural buildings in the Taybeh area, northwest of Hebron, according to the Wafa news agency.
