Mother of Palestinian killed by IDF in Jericho: ‘Allah take revenge upon them’

The mother of a Palestinian man killed by ‏Israeli soldiers in Jericho this morning says she hopes god avenges her son.

“Allah take revenge upon them,” she says of the Israeli soldiers who shot the man, in a video aired by Channel 10. “I pray to Allah to accept him into heaven as a martyr and bring ruin and loss upon their mothers, just as I have lost my son because of them.”

The man’s sister commends his actions, saying they bring “pride for us and for Palestine. It is all for Palestine.”

The army says the man tried to attack soldiers with a metal table during a riot in the West Bank city. Soldiers were filmed striking him repeatedly and apparently fatally wounding him during the arrest.
