ISRAELI OCCUPATION KILLS A YOUNG MEAN NEAR BETHLEHEM

Israel's occupation forces killed a young man at the 'Container' checkpoint near Bethlehem on Palestine's occupied West Bank on the afternoon of Tuesday June 23rd.

The victim was Ahmed Mustafa Erekat from Abu Dis in the occupied West Bank and was aged 24 or 27 according to press sources in social media.

He was on his way to get his mother and sister or sisters and bring them to his sister's wedding, which was supposed to be later on Tuesdat, when he was shot at the military checkpoint by Israel's occupation forces' paramilitary Border Guards.

The wounded young man was pulled from his car and thrown on the asphalt, without first aid being given. He was captured on video laying on the ground without any attention being given to him by the occupation troops.

Israeli occupation forces turned Palestinian ambulances away from the checkpoint without allowing medics to reach him. He was allegedly left to bleed for 1 1/2 hours beside his car.

When news of his condition first came in the press, it was first reported that he would be alive, but seriously wounded.

Later, early in the evening, Israeli press reported that Erekat was dead. It is possible that he had already died on the scene of the shooting.

 He was supposed to celebrate his own marriage next month.

Israeli occupation claims that he would have tried to 'ram' occupation forces with his car at the checkpoint. 'Naturally'
no occupation forces' members were injured.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION KILLS MENTALLY HANDICAPPED MAN IN OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM

Israeli occupation forces killed a mentally handicapped man, his parents only son, in Palestine's occupied East Jerusalem on the morning of May 30th.

32-year-old Iyad Khairi al-Hallak was shot and killed by Israel's occupation forces in his home neighbourhood of Wad al-Jouz.

According to his parents, he was 'a child in a man's body'. Press reports say he had a mental age of a 7-year-old, and had trouble hearing and speaking.

His mother said that she had been scared about Iyad's encounters with Israeli occupation forces because of his condition. His father said that their son wanted to go to school, because there he could interact with others, whereas at home he was bored and just sat in his room.

THE KILLING

When he was killed, Iyad was on his way to the al-Bakriyyah School special school for the handicapped, where he had been going on for six years, and where he according to some reports worked as a barber.

Israeli occupation forces stopped the autistic young man, who was escorted by a caregiver Warda Abu Hadid. He got scared and tried to run away, while Abu Hadi shouted in Hebrew to the occupation forces that Iyad was disabled. He was shot at three time, fell to the ground begging help, got up and ran away to a cul-de-sac. where he hid behind a dumpster in an enclosed garbage collection area.

There he was shot at least four more times. According to several sources, all bullets which hit him were shot by one of the three occupation forces members who chased him. Two of the shots are said to have been fatal, both hitting him in the chest.  This person continued to fire at him after he had fallen to the ground again, because he 'still moved', evem after being ordered by his commanding officer to stop shooting.

According to the killer, he shot al-Hallak because he thought he was 'a terrorist' - because the disabled man was 'wearing gloves'. Israeli occupation also at first claimed that the victim would have had something in his hand, which in some media reports was aid to be 'a gun'. 

 According to Abu Hadid, the occupation forces came to her after shooting Iyad, threatening her with their guns and demanding that she give her 'the pistol' which they now claimed Iyad would have given to her.

 According to Iyad's father Khairi al-Hallak, his son would have had his mobile phone in his hand when he was stopped by the occupation forces.

Iyad al-Hallak was left to bleed without being given any medical aid after he was shot.

AFTERMATH

Israeli occupation troops raided the family home after the killing, interrogating his father. His sister, upset, was cursed at by one of the occupation forces members who raided the family home and, according to at least one report, beaten.

Israeli occupation returned Iyad's body late on Sunday May 31st, ordering that his funeral would have to take place the next night, as it did.

Press has been banned from reporting the identities of the Israeli occupation forces' members involved in his killing until at least June 3rd by Israel's regime.
They are facing charge of 'causing death through negligence'.

PALESTINIAN DRIVER SHOT DEAD BY ISRAELI OCCUPATION

Israeli occupation claim about the killing of a Palestinian teenager on the occupied West Bank of Palestine on Thursday May 14th has been proven to be false.

Video released on Monday May 18th revealed that Bahaeddin Mohammad Abdullah al-‘Awawda, aged 18 or 19, was shot and killed outside the town of Beit Awwa by Israel's occupation forces after his car had already crashed.

Israeli occupation claimed after the incident that Israeli occupation soldier had opened fire on the car immediately after it had hit another soldier, fatally wounding al-'Awawda.

The new video shows that this claim is false.

The video, taken from a car passing the site of the incident, show two Israeli occupation soldiers beside the crashed car and one of them moving on the front passanger side of the car, pointing his gun via an open car door window. Two shots are heard in the video.  

Photographs had already shown that al-'Awawda had been left in a car after it crashed, seen bloody and collapsed on the driver's seat, without being given any immediate medical aid.

Some sources say that he would have still been alive when eventually taken away in a Israeli ambulance, to be declared dead either at arrival in the Soroka Medical Center in etyhnically cleansed Palestine 1948, or soon after.

The Israeli occupation soldier who was hit suffered moderate injuries.

The killing took place a day after 17-year-old Zaid Fadil Qaisiya was shot and killed by Israel's occupation troops as he was standing on the roof of his family home in al-Fawwar refugee camp in the southern Hebron district of the occupied West Bank.

ISRAEL KILLS A CHILD IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK

Israel's occupation soldiers killed a teenage child in the occupied West Bank on the morning of Wednesday May 13th.

Zaid Fadl al-Qaisiyah, aged 14 or 15, was shot in head with a live bullet and four others were wounded as Israeli occupation troops opened fire on youths that resisted an invasion that began at dawn.

SECOND CORONAVIRUS DEATH IN OCCUPIED PALESTINE

On Friday April 10th occupied Palestine experienced its second death resulting from coronavirus, as 55-year-old male died at the Hugo Chavez Hospital in occupied West Bank's Turmus Ayya.

The victim's name has been given both as Naji Mahmoud al-Mudalal and Nash'at Naji al-Mudallal in reports.

The deceased man, who suffered from chronic diseases, worked as a butcher in the town of Barta'a, west of the city of Jenin, and is believed to have been infected after being in contact with Israeli merchants.

The victim was buried in his old home town of Seida, where he had been born, with the cemetery sealed and the funeral handled by armed Palestinian Authority Security forces in protective gear.

 Occupier Israel has experienced fourty times more deaths than recorded in the occupied Palestinian territories, but it's feared that the situation will get worse in the coming weeks and that the already strained healthcare system in occupied Palestine will not be able to carry the resulting burden.

25 Palestinians have died from the disease outside historic Palestine.

FIRST CORONAVIRUS DEATH IN OCCUPIED PALESTINE

Israeli occupied State of Palestine experienced it's first coronavirus death on Wednesday March 25th, on a same day as the panicking Apartheid regime took an extraordinary step in releasing two political prisoners.

ELDERLY WOMAN DIES IN OCCUPIED WEST BANK

A woman in her 60s died of coronavirus on the early Wednesday evening, less than a day after she was tested positive for the virus. Her health had suddenly worsened during the morning and she was in critical condition before passing away.

The so far unnamed woman was from the village of Biddo near the city of Ramallah on the central part of the Israeli occupied West Bank.

Her 46-year-old son and 41-year-old daughter-in-law have been also both tested positive. They have been transferred to a quarantine center at Turmus Ayya.

These raise the number of confirmed cases in the State of Palestine to 64, 62 of them in the occupied West Bank where the epidemic has concentrated in the city of Beithlehem and nearby town of Beit Jala, and two on the besieged Gaza Strip.

PANICKING ISRAELI REGIME RELEASES ILL POLITICAL PRISONERS

Meanwhile Israeli occupation has released two of the four political prisoners held in quarantine at the notorious Ramle Prison clinic. Ahmed Nassar and Ibrahim Awawda, both from the city of Nablus, have been transferred to a Palestinian hospital in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli occupation had earlier lied that the prisoners were held in quarantine at the Megiddo prison; only now it has been revealed that they had been taken to the prison clinic - which itself has been compared to a slaughterhouse by captive inmates.

This release of political prisoners for health reasons is an extraordinary event, as Israel's regime in the past has refused to release even dying prisoners who have had only a few days to live.

To assume that compassion would have played a role is to be gravely mistaken - behind the release is a fear that prisoners would infect prison staff, who would then spread the virus among Israelis.

Instead it's a sign of panic, which is taking root among Israelis. 2170 positive cases have been confirmed and 5 deaths have taken place in the Apartheid state.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION KILLS YOUNG MAN AT NI'LIN

A young man was shot and left to bleed to death by Israel's occupation forces on the occupied West Bank late on Sunday March 22nd. His fate an all too common one for Palestinians suffering under the Israeli Apartheid and occupation.

A MURDER AT NI'LIN

Sufian Nawwaf al-Khawaja(29) suffered serious wounds when Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire at his car near the entrance to his home village of Ni'lin. He was with his cousin, who was wounded.

Sufian was left to bleed on the scene when the occupation troops stopped a Palestinian ambulance crew from reaching him, a common occupation tactic, and instead waited for an Israeli ambulance to arrive.

Sufian al-Khawaja never reached a hospital, dying on the scene of his shooting. A final photograph shows him on a stretcher, surrounded by Israeli occupation soldiers.

The body of the murdered youth was taken by the occupation, joining hundreds of hoarded bodies of slain Palestinians that are kept by the Israeli regime.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION REPEATS ITS USUAL CLAIMS

Israel's regime has spread its standard narrative of the fatal incident; this was 'naturally' picked up and spread by 'Western' news agencies like the Reuters. In it Sufian was the aggressor and the occupation forces were defending illegal Israeli settlers from stone-throwers.

The occupation narrative is all about trying to justify the murder of an unarmed person by painting him as an attacker against whom his killers would have been defending themselves - but there is no evidence that this standard narrative has truth to it beyond the fact that it at least acknowledges that Israel's occupation soldiers killed Sufian.

It is simply a slightly modified version of the standard claims Israel's regime repeats each time after its troops murder a Palestinian.

RETALIATION BY THE OCCUPATION?

Sufian had no part in throwing stones at illegal settlers' vehicles. He was just passing through with his cousin when they were targeted by the occupation troops. A driver was an easy and tempting target by to the occupation soldiers facing stone-throwers.

This fatal retaliation against bystanders by the occupation is common - and so is the deliberate 'mistaking' of pedestrian stone-throwers with persons in a car: 15-year-old Mahmoud Rafat Badran was shot and killed by Israeli occupation soldiers near Beit Sira on occupied West Bank on June 21st 2016 by Israeli occupation troops which claimed that they had made such 'a mistake'.

The village of Ni'lin is one of the centres of non-violent popular resistance against the Israeli occupation and the illegal Apartheid Wall, organizing a weekly Friday demonstration for the past decade. Defiant resistance when faced by the occupation brutality was a feature of Sufian's life.

This resistance makes it more likely for Israeli occupation soldiers to have reacted with fatal violence as happened on Sunday night. Especially as they can expect no punishment for taking Sufian's life.

As the case of Mahmoud Badran shows, killing innocents has no negative repercussions to the occupation soldiers, which means that it has a stamp of approval from the regime itself.
