According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Hani Farahati shared that his nephew, Ashraf Mahmoud Najib Farahati, aged 19, died from a gunshot wound to the head.

His case, along with incidents involving two other Palestinian children, was documented by Defense for Children International - Palestine in 2023.
