FIRST KILLING OF 2021 BY ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES

EDIT: It has been now reported that the shooter of Ahed Khalil was not a member of Israel's occupation forces, but an illegal Israeli settler who acted as a 'security coordinator' with Israeli occupation forces.

Israeli occupation forces fatally shot a young man in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday January 5th, his death becoming the first killing by the occupation troops during 2021. The shooting took place four days after the shooting of Haroun Abu Aram(24) in Masafer Yatta, which left him paralyzed below the neck.

The killing took place near the massive, illegal Gush Etzion colony near Bethlehem. Israeli occupation has made the usual excuses after the incident. The victim is claimed to have had either 'an axe' or 'a knife', and is accused of 'trying to stab' - by throwing the alleged weapon...

Israeli occupation claims that he was shot after throwing the alleged weapon, which would mean that he would have been shot while being unarmed.

News reports give several different versions of the dead young man's name. All versions of the last name have the same origin Ekhlayyil/Ikhlil/Khalil but that is not the case with his first name: Most sources give Ahad/Ahed, but Ahmad is also given. At this point Ahad/Ahed seems the more likely one, as most sources use it.

One source gives as his paternal name Abdurrahman.

His age is given in different sources as 24 or 25 years. All sources agree that he was a resident of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, not far from the site of the shooting. Israeli occupation invaded his home town after the shooting and his close relatives were called for interrogation by Israeli occupation intelligence, in the same illegal Gush Etzion colony bloc.

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 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.

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.

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.
