Following the recent murder of Rachel Corrie, Brian Avery, 24, of New Mexico was shot in
the face by a burst of machine gun fire from an Israeli Armored
Personnel Carrier.
Avery Tried To Rescue Some Children
Groups of young boys ventured into the streets and three became
trapped by Israeli machine gun fire. Avery went out to rescue them
when a Jewish soldier shot him in the face.
Surgeons Tried To Save His Face
The activists phoned for an ambulance, which took him to the Martyr
Doctor Khalil Suleiman Hospital in Jenin where he was treated for
shrapnel wounds to his face, including bone fractures below the eyes,
lacerations of the tongue and lacerations of his left cheek.
