Doctors at Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital enucleated the left eye of the 18-year old Mohammad Yousef Burqan after he was shot with a rubber bullet on Sunday in the neighborhood of Al-Thori in Silwan.
Yousef Burqan, the child’s father, explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center that his son underwent a surgery on Sunday night at 9 p.m. and lasted until 5 a.m. in which the left eye was enucleated and two platinum implants were done to the bones of his face because of fractures he suffered in the skull, nose, teeth and upper jaw; wounds were also stitched.
He added that the forces are still detaining his son in which cuffs are placed on his hands and legs despite his medical condition; it is prohibited to visit him.
Burqan added that his son was injured with a rubber bullet in the neighborhood of Al-Thori in Silwan on Sunday night and was severely beaten during the arrest and while being transported to the hospital in an ambulance by the Nazi forces despite the injury.
The father pointed out that his son was injured 8 months ago in his leg after he was shot by an Nazi Jewish settler while tending the sheep in the neighborhood of Wad Yasool in Silwan. Also, two years ago he was assaulted by settlers in Sheikh Jarrah and was severely beaten by batons.
Burqan had just finished studying for his “Bagroot” exams and was getting ready to enroll in Sakhnin College.
Al-Dameer organization lawyer, Mohammad Mahmoud, visited Burqan at the hospital and explained that he is in stable medical conditions after undergoing the surgery. He also said that Burqan remains under arrest and a court session will be held for him on Monday night.
