In memory of a hero from Ni’lin: Aqil Srour

5th June 2016 | International Solidarity Movement, al-Khalil team | Hebron, occupied Palestine

7 years ago today, Aqil Srour was murdered by an Israeli sniper in the occupied West Bank village of Ni’lin, near Ramallah.

He was shot straight in the heart when coming to the rescue of a 16-year old boy that was shot with live ammunition in the stomach just minutes before. Aqil was shot straight in the heart, leading to his immediate death.

Even though 7 years have passed, the villagers won’t forget the cold-blooded murder of Aqil Srour.
