Hussein Khattab earlier published a post on his official page explaining that he had been subjected to death threats, blaming the Qabbasin district police for failing to perform their duties, after he submitted a complaint to the police, saying: “Four days have passed since trying to have me killed and I filed a complaint against the people who tried to kill me to the police command in Qabassin, which did nothing. I was forced to leave the area and leave my house, afraid for my life.

He added, “If the police cannot enter a camp and arrest those who tried to kill me, what is the benefit of their presence, so I hold them all the responsibility in case anything happens to me.”
