65-year-old Palestinian man confronts armed Israeli troops

Ziyad Abu Haleel can be heard shouting "You should be ashamed" at the armed Israeli soldiers

Video has emerged of an elderly Palestinian man confronting armed Israeli soldiers, telling them "you should be ashamed," before collapsing to the ground.

Amid clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian youths in Hebron, 65-year-old Ziyad Abu Haleel was filmed asking the soldiers, "How do you fire your weapons on kids?"

As one of the soldiers raises his gun, Mr Abu Haleel is warned that he will be arrested if he does not leave. The elderly man responds by refusing to move.

"No, you cannot arrest me. I will not move back," he can be heard shouting. "Take them, imprison them but don't shoot them. You want to kill more? Two martyrs were buried today and you want to kill more? Are you not ashamed? Are you not a human being? A dog? A pig?"

After yelling at the soldiers for a significant amount of time, Mr Abu Haleel can be seen clutching his chest and then falling to the ground.

As the soldiers look on, a group of journalists come to his aid, carrying him away from the scene.

An Ambulance can be seen arriving, with Mr Abu Haleel later being released from hospital after suffering minor bruises due to his fall.

Clashes in the area of Hebron and Ramallah arose on 10th October, with 17 Palestinians being hit by live gunfire according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
