Today marks the 12th anniversary of a crime that shook humanity, which claimed the life of a Palestinian child who was burned alive by colonial Israeli settlers.
The story began when Abu Khdeir left at dawn on July 2, 2014, heading to the mosque to perform the Fajr prayer on the fourth day of Ramadan.
On his way, he was stopped by a car carrying three settlers. They asked him for directions to “Tel Aviv,” then forced him into the vehicle at gunpoint and abducted him outside the town.
The abductors then headed to the Deir Yassin forested area, where they began torturing Abu Khdeir by beating and strangling him. The perpetrator, Yosef Ben-David, then poured gasoline on him, forced him to drink it, and set his body on fire, burning him alive until death.
