Ahmad Nijam, who was shot in the leg during the racist mob’s attack, told an Israeli TV channel that members of the mob approached him and demanded to know why he was hanging around an area supposedly for Jews, before throwing water bottles at him. The Jewish shooter ordered Nijam to get down on the ground before shooting him. Video from the incident, filmed by an acquaintance of Nijam who came to investigate his cries, shows Nijam bleeding on the floor and screaming in pain while the suspect and someone in an #IDF uniform stand a few metres away watching him suffer, before the shooter flees.
Police detained the wounded Nijam for questioning as soon as he was released from hospital and demanded to know why he was on the street at night – and when the alleged shooter appeared in court, things went even further downhill.

Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court Judge David Shaul Gabai Richter ordered the suspect’s release to house arrest, suggesting that because people in Jerusalem are ‘on edge’ the shooting was understandable and concluding that:

Although this was an incident in which a weapon was used… I do not believe that the defendant can be deemed a …criminal.
