Mohammad Il Ibrahim, 20, was shot in the right leg as the farmers, together with the international human rights activists, attempted to leave the area having worked on their land for 2 hours in full view of the Israeli forces situated along the 'Green Line'. Ibrahim is deaf. Ibrahim's cousin was shot and killed on January 27th in similar circumstances.

As the farmers were loading up the parsley and spinach from the agricultural lands shots were fired from Israeli forces on the border. Mohammad was shot in the right leg and evacuated, while still under fire, to hospital.
