Man claims assault by Israeli soldiers

GENEVIEVE CARBERY

An Irish citizen has claimed he was beaten on the head and treated badly by Israeli special forces during the interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla over a week ago.

Arriving into Dublin airport this afternoon on a flight from Istanbul, Al Mahdi Alharati described those who detained as “barbaric”.

The Libyan-born man’s journey home was delayed because he was taken to hospital in Ankara, Turkey for treatment for an underlying heart condition, diabetes, and his injuries.

“I was hit with rubber bullets in the leg. I was beaten in the groin and over the head. I was hit with the back of a gun on the eye. I was hit with the butt of a machine gun on the back of my head,” he said, speaking through a translator.

He said that the activists had not used force. “It was all peaceful, there was no way it could have been anything other than peaceful,” he said.

Btw, ending the collective punishment of Gaza is a humanitarian mission.
