In Ni'lin, spontaneous demonstrations began the same day as the bombing, with a more organized vigil Saturday night. On Sunday, December 28, a small group of young Palestinian men, along with at least one Israeli activist, were fired upon by Israeli soldiers with live ammunition from less than 15 meters away. Arafat Khawaja, 22, was shot in the back. He was pronounced dead at a hospital in Ramallah that afternoon. Mohammed Khawaja, 20, was shot in the forehead. He is currently brain-dead. Mohammed Hamid, 17, from Silwad, was also killed during a demonstration on Sunday.From http://palestinesolidarityproject.org/
