In a heartbreaking turn of events during the recent conflict in Gaza, Muhammed Bhar, a Palestinian man with Down’s syndrome, was attacked by an army dog and left alone by Israeli soldiers, as his family had been ordered to evacuate. Muhammed was found dead a week later by his family, who were forced to leave him behind as soldiers attended to injured comrades. His mother, Nabila, described how Muhammed, who relied on his family for everything, was left to fend for himself in a terrifying situation. The soldiers initially treated Muhammed’s wounds, but later locked him in a room, away from the family’s view. Despite pleas from the family, they were ordered to leave the premises at gunpoint, leaving Muhammed behind with the soldiers. When they returned a week later, they found Muhammed’s lifeless body, with blood around him and basic first aid measures in place. The family, devastated by Muhammed’s death, is demanding an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Israeli military confirmed the details of the incident but cited the need to attend to injured soldiers as the reason for leaving Muhammed alone. The family struggles with the traumatic memory of Muhammed’s final moments and the lack of closure in his tragic death.
