Two years ago, Israeli soldiers in the West Bank shot Harun Abu Aram as he protected his family’s generator. This week Harun died from his injuries, a great martyr to the cause of Palestinian steadfastness.

In 2021, Harun Abu Aram was shot in his neck at point blank range by Israeli soldiers when he was trying to prevent the confiscation of a communal generator. He was left paralyzed from the neck down.

Yumna Patel interviews Rasmi Abu Aram, the father of Harun Abu Aram who was shot by Israeli forces on New Year’s Day as he attempted to protect a neighbor’s house from demolition. “My son Harun is so young, he’s only 24. He had his whole life ahead of him, and now he might die because the soldiers had nothing better to do than shoot him over a generator,” Abu Aram tells Mondoweiss.
