According to local sources, the young man went to his land adjacent to the Turkish post and shot at thieves who were stealing his agricultural equipment, then Turkish forces opened fire on him after they thought they were being targeted.

Turkish forces were preventing him from reaching his land due to the proximity of the Turkish post, which prompted him to open fire on them in order to express his anger.
