New Jersey man says he was shot by Israel Defense Forces while protesting in West Bank
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A Jersey City man says he was shot by the Israeli military while protesting in the West Bank.
It happened near the town of Beita on Aug. 9.
IDF shot at protesters in West Bank, N.J. man says
Daniel Santiago, an activist with Faz3a Global, said the demonstration started peacefully with prayer and chanting, then the Israel Defense Forces became aggressive.
“There was teargas shot at us, live rounds. We hid behind a concrete wall when the live rounds happened,” he said.
Santiago said his group ran when they got the chance, and they encountered some Palestinians. He said the shooting continued.
“When they picked me up, I saw that there was a hole in my leg and there was blood,” he said.
Santiago showed CBS News New York the exit wound of the bullet that pierced his thigh.
The IDF says troops used riot dispersal methods and fired into the air to break up a violent riot, but Santiago says the military was firing in their direction.
“It went straight through my thigh from the back all the way through the front. Unless bullets can go up and through, I would say that is false,” Santiago said.
American woman fatally shot while protesting in West Bank
Last Friday, Aysenur Eygi, another United States national, was in Beita to protest Israeli occupation in the West Bank with the International Solidarity Mission. Santiago says like him, she was also shot two days after arriving.
“It was 30 minutes after the protest ended, and she intentionally was away from any place that would be close to high risk,” Santiago said.
According to CBS News, the Israeli military confirmed the shooting. The IDF told CBS in a statement that troops “responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them.” The 26-year-old woman was shot in the head and killed.
“If something was done when I was shot, maybe she’d still be here,” Santiago said.
Santiago expresses his sympathies to the friends and family of his fellow American.
While his recovery could potentially take months, he says he knew there was a risk going to the West Bank, but wants these shootings investigated further.
Do you have a secret spot in your home where you hide your valuables?
Do you think that it’s very safe and a would-be burglar wouldn’t think to check?
Unfortunately, that spot may not be as safe as you would hope. Burglars have a few spots in your home they will check first after they break in, and it very well may be your “super safe secret spot.”

Do you hide things in your sock or underwear drawer?
It may be a good way to hide things from your kids, but obviously, a burglar is going to check there first.

How Common is Burglary in New Jersey
The majority of crimes in New Jersey are property crimes like burglary and vehicle theft. In 2021, NJ residents reported 103,761 property crimes.
This breaks down to a property crime rate of 11 crimes per 1,000 residents.
Though this crime rate is below the national average, you still have a 1-in-89 chance of becoming a victim of property crime. Criminals in New Jersey often target homes to steal electronics, jewelry, and other expensive items.
Reconsider Where You Are Hiding Your Valuables
I hope you are never the victim of a burglary, but if you are, at least you can make it a little harder for a crook to find your valuables.
Reader’s Digest recently talked with Chris McGoey of McGoey Security Consulting and Robert Siciliano, a security analyst with Hotspot Shield.
Using information from these two experts, the magazine determined that these are the 10 spots burglars are most likely to check.
