When he tried to go out to tell the Israeli soldiers that there were children in the house, he was surprised by a huge police dog that attacked him and bit his shoulder, left arm and leg. The dog then dragged him from the second floor to the first floor.
The Israeli occupation forces who came to arrest him left him to bleed for hours in a military jeep without providing him treatment even though he was screaming for help, he added.
