Ibrahim Abu Thurayah lost both his legs in 2008 when an Israeli helicopter targeted him for raising a Palestinian flag. His disability did not stop him from protesting against the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Thurayah, 29, was killed during clashes with Israeli soldiers on Dec. 15 in Gaza City on Friday. Merely hours before his death, Thurayah unfurled the Palestinian flag from an electricity pole. He was shot in the head by a sniper, according to the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza.
