IDF soldier shooting at Ashraf Abu-Rahma

On July 7 2008 Reshef sent his troops, lead by company commander lieutenant-colonel Omri Burberg, to the Nilin village near Ramallah. The IDF troops captured Ashraf Abu-Rahma, 27, a Palestinian resident of Nilin and well known peace activist while helping some international peace activists who had arrived in the village from the direction of the nearby town of Deir Kadis in order to support the steadfastness of the citizens and to supply them with humanitarian aid in the wake of a strict siege and curfew which had been imposed on them by Reshef for over a week.

After Abu Rahma was detained for a half an hour, he was taken to a military jeep by lieutenant-colonel Omri Burberg, the company commander under orders of Aviv Reshef. Abu Rahma was handcuffed and blinded when Burberg ordered a soldier to shoot him. The soldier shot the Abu Rahma from a distance of about 1.5 meters while Burberg was holding from his arm.
