The father of Mohamed al-Tamimi the boy who suffered last December a rubber bullet injury in the head during skirmishes with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank town of Nabi Saleh said that the Israeli army’s claim that his son was injured after he fell off his bike was untrue.
Yoav Mordechai Israel’s military coordinator of government activities in the occupied territories claimed on his Facebook page that Tamimi aged 15 had confessed during an interrogation session with him that he got injured after he accidentally fell off his electric bike.
The father however affirmed that the false story of Mordechai had been taken from his son under physical abuse and threat adding that the shooting incident that led to his son’s injury happened in full view of eight eyewitnesses.
There are also medical reports X-rays and doctors’ testimonies that confirm his injury by a rubber bullet the father added.
The father accused Israeli intelligence interrogators of forcing his son to make such story after exposing him to psychological and physical pressure.
