MINOR KILLED IN AN ATTACK BY ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS AND ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES

15- or 16-year-old Amjad Abu Alia was fatally shot on Friday July 29th during a joint attack by illegal Israeli settlers and Israel's occupation forces.

The shooting took place during a demonstration against occupier Israel's illegal colony building at the entrance to the village of al-Mughayer, a regular target of fatal illegal Israeli settler attacks, on Palestine's occupied West Bank.

Illegal Israeli settlers, of whom five were reportedly armed with firearms - several of these armed settlers were captured on photographs and videos - and Israel's occupation forces attacked the weekly Friday demonstration consisting of 300-400 people. Other illegal settlers at present were throwing stones and scuffling with the locals.

Early reports said that Israel's occupation forces would have shot the fatal bullet, but according to head of the local village council, Abu Alia was shot by an illegal Israeli settler. The bullet hit him in the back and he died of his wounds in a hospital at Ramallah.

His funeral took place on Saturday.

Two to four other people were wounded by illegal Israeli settlers and occupation troops according to different reports, none of their injuries being severe.

ELDERLY MAN SHOT AT HAWARA DIES OF HIS WOUNDS

Hussein Hasan Qawariq, aged 59 or 60, was shot by Israel's occupation forces at the Hawara (also transliterated as Huwwara) checkpoint near the city of Nablus on Palestine's occupied West Bank on Tuesday July 26th.

He died of his wounds on Friday July 29th in an Israeli hospital in Tel Aviv.

According to both his family and the mayor of Hawara Qawariq, from the village of Awarta, was mentally disturbed and according to the mayor spent part of his time collecting empty cans for money and asked for money from local businesses for his sustenance.

Israeli occupation at first made the standard claim that he would have had a knife and that he was shot for not stopping when commanded to do so, but later referenced only the latter claim. He was apparently unarmed.

UPDATE: Qawariq was unarmed and had suffered from mental illness, and received care, since young adulthood, as Haaretz reports:

ISRAELI OCCUPATION KILLS TWO MEMBERS OF AL-AQSA MARTYRS' BRIGADES IN NABLUS

Early on Sunday July 24th Israel's occupation forces invaded the Old City in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus and besieged the home of the Azizi family, demanding one person - whose name they shouted - to surrender. Who this person was has not been reported. It doesn't appear to have been any of the men who died, as Israeli occupation would have then likely taken the body of the deceased target with them when they withdrew.

The raid was opposed by resistance fighters, and a group of armed men had taken a position in the house. According to one report, a total of seven men were inside during the gunfight that began and culminated in Israeli occupation forces' using several anti-tank missiles to blast a hole in the wall of the old stone building.

If we the report about seven men being inside are to be taken as fact, five of them got out and were not caught. Two were killed - either by the missiles or from live ammunition based on different articles - and in the overall fighting at least 10 and up to 19 people were wounded, 3 of them seriously.

One person was reported as being in a critical condition after being shot in head; this could be a brother (who has Down's Syndrome) of a journalist, who is said to have been also seriously wounded in head in Nablus, but no reports directly connect these persons as being the same.

The killed men were both members of the Fatah-aligned al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade. They were Mohammad Bashar Azizi,  his age given in different sources as from 22 to 25, and Abderrahman Jamal Soboh, whose age in most reports is reported as 28.

Soboh was a former political prisoner and his uncle had been killed by the Israeli occupation forces in 2019.

According to one source, Azizi was shot in chest and Soboh was shot in head. Some of the other reports claim they were killed in the explosions caused by the the anti-tank missiles.

Israeli occupation, which hindered the access of Palestinian ambulance crews, didn't take the men's bodies, which again implies they were not the intended target of the raid.

YOUNG MAN DIES OF HEART ATTACK AFTER BEATING BY ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES

32-year-old Ahmad Harb Ayyad was attacked and beaten by Israel's occupation forces near the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem early this week, suffering a heart attack and dying in hospital on the same day.

Most reports cite his death taking place either late on Monday July 4th or early on Tuesday July 5th, but according to his uncle Jamal Ayyad on July 5th his death took place 'the day before yesterday' - aka on Sunday July 3rd.

Ayyad, from the besieged Gaza Strip, was in a group of labourers who tried to cross the illegal Wall to go to work in Israel without permits. He was in the occupied West Bank on a regular medical referral to Nablus hospital and according to his uncle had similarly worked in earlier occasions.

Israel's occupation forces opened fire at them with live ammunition, wounding one, and used also tear-gas and physical force. According to Jamal Ayyad his nephew, because of his medical condition, was unable to run away, fell on the ground, was beaten by occupation soldiers and then taken in an ambulance first to a hospital in the nearby city of Tulkarem.

There he was diagnosed as having suffered a heart attack, and as needed treatment was not available at Tulkarem, was  moved to a better equipped hospital in the city of Nablus, where he was given treatment. At first he seemed well enough, was able to call to and talk with his wife, but after four hours there his heart stopped, he was revived, but his heart stopped again four hours later and he couldn't be revived again.

Israeli occupation allowed the return of his body to his family already on Tuesday and Ayyad, from Zaitoun, was buried east of Gaza City at the Shuhada graveyard. According to his uncle, his body was covered in bruises, apparently from the beating he received.

Ahmad Ayyad left behind himself a widow and two children aged 4 and 6.

YOUNG MAN KILLED IN JABA'A BY ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES

Israel's occupation forces fatally shot 20-year-old Rafiq Riyad Ghannam in the town of Jaba'a on Palestine's Israel occupied West Bank early on Wednesday July 6th.

According to Palestinian sources, he heard a sound from the outside, went to see what was happening and was shot twice with live ammunition, from a distance, by Israeli occupation soldiers.

Israeli occupation forces didn't allow Palestinian medics to reach Ghannam, arrested him, and later announced his death. According to one report, they would have already put him inside a black plastic bag on the site of the shooting.

Israeli occupation made two contradictory claims about his shooting, in one claiming that he would have been shot while throwing a Molotov cocktail at occupation groups, and in the another one claiming that he would have been shot for trying to escape from a building and refusing to stop. He is referenced as a 'suspect' in the latter.

A young man named Ahmad Ziam Hamamra was also arrested by the occupation soldiers.

Rafiq was the brother of the current political prisoner Ayham Ghannam and the former political prisoner Mohammad Ghannam.

Rafiq's uncle Hani Ghannam is also a former political prisoner. His aunt Ni’am Ghannam was killed by the Israeli occupation forces during the Second Intifada and his grandfather was killed by Zionist troops in 1948.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION KILLS A 17-YEAR-OLD IN THE WEST BANK

17-year-old Kamel Abdallah Alwaneh was shot in abdomen and hand by Israel's occupation forces in the town of Jaba'a, on Palestine's Israeli occupied West Bank, on Saturday July 2nd during a protest which followed Israeli occupation forces' invasion.

Alwaneh had suffered damage to his intestines and liver and went through surgery, but died of his injuries early on the afternoon of Sunday July 3rd. His funeral took place just a few hours later.

He was named after an older brother who was killed by Israel's occupation forces in 2003, aged 18. Most reports claim that he himself would have been aged 18 or 19. These are in error. He was born in 2004 and hadn't turned 18 yet according to DCI-Palestine.
Elder brother killed 2003.

Kamel Alawneh is the 19th Palestinian child killed this year by Israel's occupation forces.

Israeli occupation claimed that Alwaneh was shot because he would have 'thrown a Molotov cocktail', but couldn't provide evidence for this.

OLDEST FEMALE POLITICAL PRISONER DIES IS IN ISRAELI OCCUPATION CAPTIVITY

68-year-old Sa’diyya Farajallah, mother of eight from the town of Idna, died in Israeli occupation's ad-Damoun prison on Friday July 2nd.

She had been imprisoned since December 18th 2021 by the Israeli occupation, which hadn't allowed her relatives to visit her.

According to Palestinian sources, Farajallah had been attacked by illegal Israeli settlers near the Ibrahimi mosque in the city of Hebron before being arrested by Israel's occupation forces, which accused her of an 'attempted stabbing attack'.

On June 28th Israeli occupation brought Farajallah, who suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure, before occupation military court, and Israeli occupation military prosecutor demanded 5 years imprisonment for her. 

She was already in a wheelchair, unable to speak and 'looking fragile' according to her lawyer by then. On Friday she lost her consciousness after her morning prayer and was moved to prison clinic, where she died.

Farajallah had been imprisoned by the Israeli occupation twice before, in 1987 and in 2017. In the latter case she was imprisoned without charge or trial.

She is the 230th Palestinian political prisoner to die in Israeli occupation captivity since 1967 and oldest female prisoner held by the occupation at the time of her death.
