Israeli forces kill teen near Bethlehem
https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/israeli-forces-kill-teen-near-bethlehem

Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a teenage boy in Tuqu, a village near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, on Friday.

The previous day, a Palestinian man was shot and killed at close range in what may amount to an extrajudicial execution.

Defense for Children International-Palestine said that Mustafa Amer Ali Sabbah, 15, was shot in the heart with live ammunition on Friday afternoon. He was the 19th Palestinian child killed by Israeli forces so far this year, the rights group added.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said that the boy was killed during confrontations with the Israeli military.
The military attempted to justify the killing of the teen by telling Israeli media that "he had been involved in previous rioting."

Earlier on Friday, Israeli forces raided the northern West Bank city of Jenin, reportedly confiscating weapons and arresting a Palestinian accused of involvement in armed resistance.

Residents confronted the raiding soldiers, leading to the injury of two Palestinians, Al Jazeera reported.

Security forces officer killed
On Thursday, Israeli forces shot and killed Ahmad Yaqoub Taha, 39, on a road near the West Bank city of Salfit.

https://twitter.com/AlQastalps/status/1651660253904117769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1651660253904117769%7Ctwgr%5E549ba0c5370fbe7d8dd315eeb56bfd450db11977%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Felectronicintifada.net%2Fblogs%2Fmaureen-clare-murphy%2Fisraeli-forces-kill-teen-near-bethlehem

Video of the incident appears to show Taha getting out of a car and lunging toward an officer before falling to the ground. The video shows a soldier apparently firing at Taha several times while he was on the ground and presumably posed no immediate danger.

https://twitter.com/AlQastalps/status/1651612279891271681?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1651612279891271681%7Ctwgr%5E549ba0c5370fbe7d8dd315eeb56bfd450db11977%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Felectronicintifada.net%2Fblogs%2Fmaureen-clare-murphy%2Fisraeli-forces-kill-teen-near-bethlehem

The Times of Israel, citing the Israeli military, said that Taha drove into the opposite lane of a highway "and tried to ram his car into civilians and security forces" at a junction near the West Bank settlement of Ariel.
"The suspect then got out of his car while allegedly brandishing a knife, before being shot dead by troops," the publication added.

No Israelis were injured during the incident but a Palestinian bystander was reportedly lightly injured.

Taha was reportedly a member of the Palestinian Authority security forces.

Suleiman Taha, the slain man's brother, expressed disbelief towards Israel's claim that Taha had attempted an attack.

"This is a father of two small children, a man working in the security forces who was very committed to his work," Suleiman told the Tel Aviv daily Haaretz.

"Claims that he tried or planned to carry out an attack doesn't make sense," he added.

Uptick in violence
On Monday, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in separate incidents.

With four Palestinians killed this week, the number of fatalities is once again on the rise after a lull towards the end of Ramadan and during the Eid holiday that follows the fasting month.

Israel was reportedly under pressure from the Biden administration in Washington to de-escalate after police were documented assaulting Ramadan worshippers at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque.

Armed groups in Lebanon and Gaza fired rockets towards Israel following the assaults at al-Aqsa, stoking fears of a regional war that did not come to pass.

Additional deadly violence in the West Bank, however, appears all but guaranteed as Israel informed the family of an imprisoned Palestinian accused of killing a soldier that it intends to demolish their home in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

A demolition order has already been imposed on the family of another Palestinian who Israel says was involved in the October shooting attack.

Punitive home demolitions are a form of collective punishment prohibited under international law.

Last year, Israel punitively sealed or destroyed 11 homes belonging to the families of Palestinians accused of attacks, according to the UN monitoring group OCHA. Hundreds more Palestinian-owned structures were razed or seized on the pretext that they were built without a permit.

Three Palestinians died from injuries sustained during a punitive home demolition raid in Kafr Dan village near Jenin in early January.

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli police, soldiers and armed civilians since the beginning of the year, according to The Electronic Intifada's tracking.

Twenty Israelis and foreign nationals were killed by Palestinians in the same period or died from injuries sustained previously.

PCHR: "Leaving Palestinian Hunger Striker Khader Adnan in his Cell Without Healthcare is a Decision to Kill him"
https://imemc.org/article/pchr-leaving-palestinian-hunger-striker-khader-adnan-in-his-cell-without-healthcare-is-a-decision-to-kill-him/

The Palestinian Center For Human Rights (PCHR): May 2: Today in the morning, the death of the detainee Khader Adnan, who has been on a 87-day- hunger strike in protest against his administrative detention by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), was announced. At dawn, Adnan was found unconscious in his cell before his death was later declared after transferring him to the hospital.

Earlier, the Israeli authorities claimed that Adnan refused to undergo medical examinations and receive medical treatment, and today in the morning, he was found unconscious in his cell, and an attempt was made to save his life before he was transferred to Assaf Harofeh Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) holds the Israeli authorities fully responsible for the death of the Palestinian detainee, Khader Adnan, and calls on the international community to conduct an immediate and independent investigation into his death circumstances, including the Israeli authorities' insistence on refusing to release him despite the serious deterioration of his health condition.

" IOF are well aware of his health condition, especially that he had a long series of hunger strikes in protest against his administrative detention and he needs adequate healthcare. However, after almost three months of being on an open hunger strike, he was still being held in cell without healthcare. Leaving him in these tragic circumstances is immoral, inhumane and illegal, and constitutes a decision to execute him premeditatedly. We call on the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate his death immediately and hold the Israeli officials accountable for this crime. ", Lawyer Raji Sourani, PCHR's Director.

Khader Adnan Mohammed Mousa (45) began his hunger strike in protest against his administration detention after he was arrested from his house in Arraba village, west of Jenin on 05 February 2023.

The Israeli occupation authorities did not respond to Adnan's demands and also refused to allow family visits despite the deterioration of his health condition. Only Adnan's wife managed to see him through the video conference during his court sessions, last of which was a day before he died.

The Ofer Military Court refused to respond to the request to release Khader Adnan, who appeared via the video conference from his place of detention before the court.

He appeared extremely exhausted, and he said that he is dying and suffering from partial memory loss, according to his wife, who attended the court session. Adnan's wife confirmed that IOF refused to transfer her husband to a civilian hospital and held him at al-Ramla Hospital under inadequate conditions despite the serious deterioration of his health condition and losing consciousness several times.

It is worth noting that Khader Adnan went on five open hunger strikes in protest against his administrative detention before, and he was released every time after a deterioration in his health condition. Then, IOF arrest him again. In total, 'Adnan was arrested 14 times and served more than 8 years in Israeli prisons.

It should be noted that so far in 2023, Adnan is the second detainee to have died in the Israeli prisons this year after Ahmed Abu 'Ali (48), who was imprisoned at Negev prison and died due to the deterioration of his health condition when he was transferred to Soroka Medical Center on 10 February 2023.

The death of the detainee, Khader Adnan, sheds light on the general deterioration in the conditions of more than 4900 Palestinian detainees in the Israeli prisons, including dozens of sick detainees. Also, Adnan's death highlights the suffering of about 600 administrative detainees who are held without charge or trial in flagrant violation of their right to a fair trial, including their right to receive adequate defense and to know their charges.

The administrative detention violation of the detainees' right to a fair trial comes from the nature of the administrative detention, which is issued upon an administrative order and without any judicial decision in a manner that jeopardizes the impartial judicial proceedings, including the fair trial proceedings.

PCHR holds the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the death of Khader Adnan and for the lives of hundreds of detainees, who may face the same fate, if the policy of deliberate medical negligence continues, as they are held in unhealthy conditions and are not receiving adequate healthcare. Thus, PCHR:

- Calls for an immediate investigation into the death circumstances of Khader Adnan, including the Israeli authorities' insistence on refusing to release him despite the serious deterioration of his health condition.

- Urges the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to effectively follow-up the conditions of Palestinian detainees at the Israeli Prisons and their detention conditions.

- Calls upon the international community to compel Israel to respect the international law and international humanitarian law, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention, and to abide by the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.

- Calls on the international community to intervene immediately to put an end to the administrative detention policy and its arbitrary and illegal use by Israel against Palestinian detainees.

- Calls upon the ICC prosecutor and the UN Commission of Inquiry to conduct an immediate investigation into Adnan Khader's death.

Israeli Soldiers Kill Three Palestinians, Injure Four, In Nablus
https://imemc.org/article/israeli-soldiers-kill-three-palestinians-injure-four-in-nablus/

On Thursday morning, Israeli soldiers killed three young Palestinian men and injured at least four after the undercover force infiltrated the Old City of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, and surrounded a home before dozens of military vehicles invaded the area.

In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinians as Moath Masri, 35, Hasan Qatanani, 35, and Ibrahim Jabr, 45.

It added that the remains of two of the slain Palestinians were severely mutilated due to Israeli Energia rockets and shells fired at a home the soldiers surrounded.

The Israeli attack started when undercover forces infiltrated the al-Yasmina neighborhood in Nablus's Old City and surrounded a home before a large military force invaded the area and used a drone to fire a missile at the property before firing more shells and dozens of live rounds, killing the three young men.

Palestinian medics rushed to the area of the attack, but the soldiers fired many live rounds at their ambulances, preventing them from reaching the home or its surrounding area.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Nablus, said the many Palestinians protested the invasion before the soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

Jibril stated that the soldiers injured 166 Palestinians, including four who were shot with live rounds, ten who fell as the army chased them, and 152 who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation, especially since the army fired the gas bombs at random, many striking homes or landing near them.

Among the wounded were many schoolchildren who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation in their schools near the invaded area.

The Palestinian Ministry of Education in Nablus said it had to evacuate 16 schools in the invaded area and its surroundings to ensure the children's safety, especially since the soldiers were firing many live rounds and gas bombs.

The Israeli army claimed that two of the slain Palestinians, Moath Masri and Hasan Qatanani, were responsible for a shooting attack last month, leading to the death of three Israelis from the Dee family in the Jordan Valley, last month, and alleged that Jabr aided them in fleeing the scene. The three are from the illegal Israeli colony of Efrat, built on Palestinian lands near Bethlehem.

The army also confirmed more than 200 soldiers took part in the invasion, adding that they used anti-tank shoulder-mounted missiles and stun grenades dropped from military drones.

The Health Ministry said the death of the three young men brings the number of slain Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers since the beginning of this year to 107, including 20 children and one woman.

Various Palestinian officials, national and Islamic factions, and social figures denounced the invasion and the killing of the three young men, especially since it was clear the soldiers were not there to abduct the three Palestinians but rather to assassinate them, and that is why they started the attack by firing shells at the property.

Israeli Soldiers Kill A Young Woman Near Nablus
https://imemc.org/article/israeli-soldiers-kill-a-young-woman-near-nablus/

On Thursday, Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian woman near Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, after the army claimed she attacked soldiers, mildly wounding one.

Media sources said the soldiers shot Eman Ziad Ahmad Odah, 26, with a live round in the chest, near Einabus junction in the center of Huwwara town, south of Nablus.

After shooting the woman, the army closed the area and refused to allow Palestinian medics to approach her, and later, Palestinian Red Crescent medics (PRCS) were able to reach her and perform the urgently needed medical attention before rushing her to Rafidia hospital in Nablus where she was officially pronounced dead.

The Israeli army claimed the woman attacked a soldier with a knife, but the soldier pushed her away and shot her, and added that another security officer also opened fire at the woman.  The wounded soldier suffered a mild injury and was moved to an Israeli hospital.

In related news, the soldiers shot a young Palestinian man in the leg during protests near Al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

The army claimed that the young man attacked soldiers who stopped and searched Palestinian vehicles.

Her death brings the number of slain Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers since the beginning of this year to 107, including 20 children and two women.

On Thursday morning, Israeli soldiers killed three young Palestinian men and injured at least four after the undercover force infiltrated the Old City of Nablus, and surrounded a home before dozens of military vehicles invaded the area.

In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinians as Moath Masri, 35, Hasan Qatanani, 35, and Ibrahim Jabr, 45.

The 2.5-year-old Mohammad Haytham Tamimi died of the wounds he sustained when Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the town of Nabi Saleh, northwest of Ramallah, last Thursday evening, as per the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Activist Bilal Tamimi revealed that the child's family was informed of his martyrdom of a gunshot wound to the head. 

https://twitter.com/Palestinell/status/1665701930943873027?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1665701930943873027%7Ctwgr%5E94a1780814b1666aa6ff7c1b37ae9eb23af3da01%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fenglish.almayadeen.net%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2F25-year-old-palestinian-child-succumbs-to-wounds-from-israel

The family explained that the body of the martyred child will be handed over this evening at the Rantis checkpoint, west of Ramallah, to be transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex.

His burial ceremony is set for tomorrow in the town's cemetery.

With the martyrdom of 2.5-year-old Tamimi, the number of Palestinian children killed at the hands of Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of this year has risen to 28.

The child Tamimi was shot in the head when Israeli occupation forces opened fire indiscriminately while pursuing Palestinian youths who allegedly carried out a shooting operation targeting an occupation military post near the town of Nabi Saleh, Palestinian sources revealed. Both baby Tamim and his father Haytham were wounded in the Israeli attack.

Last Thursday, activist Bilal Tamimi stated that an Israeli occupation army force ambushed a vehicle at the entrance to the town, chased it, and opened fire on it, which led to the injury of the child with a bullet in the head, while his father was wounded in the hand.

https://twitter.com/barakat_media/status/1664545095134113792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1664545095134113792%7Ctwgr%5E94a1780814b1666aa6ff7c1b37ae9eb23af3da01%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fenglish.almayadeen.net%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2F25-year-old-palestinian-child-succumbs-to-wounds-from-israel

Tamimi added, in statements to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), that the child and his father were shot while in the car parked in their house 300 m away from the checkpoint.

Tamimi's mother explained that Mohammad and his father were on their way for a family visit when they were shot.

Family Buries Slain Son Israeli Soldiers Killed In April
https://imemc.org/article/family-buries-slain-son-israeli-soldiers-killed-in-april/

Late Sunday night, the family of Hatem As'ad Abu Najma, 39, held the funeral ceremony and burial of their slain son, whom a paramilitary Israeli colonizer killed on April 24, 2023, in occupied Jerusalem.

Media sources said only the immediate family and a few Palestinians were allowed to attend due to Israeli restrictions and preconditions.

After allowing the release of the slain man's corpse, dozens of soldiers and police officers surrounded many parts of occupied Jerusalem, especially Bab Al-Asbat Graveyard and all streets leading to it.

The soldiers and officers kept the entire area closed and isolated to prevent the Palestinians in the area from attending the funeral and lifted the siege after the burial was concluded.

Every person who attended the funeral was ordered to wear an electronic bracelet to track their movement and ensure they do not leave designated routes and areas.

Only 25 Palestinians were allowed to attend the funeral; they were barred from carrying flags or posters, were not allowed to march and chant before or after the funeral, and were ordered to disperse immediately afterward.

The family was also ordered not to receive condolences from anybody in any public area and only to welcome a limited number of mourners in their home.

It is worth mentioning that the paramilitary colonizer killed Abu Najma on April 24, 2023, after he reportedly injured seven Israelis in what the army called a ramming attack.

A video from the scene shows the colonizer shooting the Palestinian man through the closed side window of his car while he posed no threat or even attempted to leave it.

Hatem was a married father of five children from Beit Safafa town, south of occupied Jerusalem.

Israeli forces killed a young Palestinian man on Friday near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement that 29-year-old Palestinian Mahdi Biadsa was killed by Israeli gunfire near the Rantis military checkpoint, west of Ramallah.

https://twitter.com/PalestineChron/status/1667153982714724355?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1667153982714724355%7Ctwgr%5E1474e4e98055eb60c948ce4cf0a7f657f8c7ea04%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.palestinechronicle.com%2Fisraeli-occupation-forces-kill-young-palestinian-man-at-checkpoint-near-ramallah-video%2F

The circumstances surrounding the Biadsa's killing remain unclear and largely based on the Israeli version of events.

At least 159 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of the year.

Palestinian elderly succumbs to wounds sustained in Israeli aggression
Elderly Palestinian Ismail Salman Ayyad, from the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City, embraces martyrdom.
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-elderly-succumbs-to-wounds-sustained-in-israeli

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Friday the martyrdom of elderly Ismail Salman Ayyad, from the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City, who succumbed to the wounds that he sustained in an airstrike during the latest Israeli occupation aggression against the Gaza Strip.

On May 9, the Israeli occupation launched an aggression against Gaza, as occupation warplanes targeted houses and apartments, north, center, and south of the Strip, leaving 37 martyrs, including six Palestinian Resistance leaders, and around 190 injuries.

In response to the aggression, the Joint Operations Room of the Palestinian Resistance factions launched a response operation codenamed Avenging the Free.

Egypt mediated a ceasefire between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation, as a result of which the five-day aggression against the Gaza Strip ended with an Israeli pledge to end assassinations and the targeting of civilian homes.

WAFA correspondent said that a large Israeli army force raided the camp and surrounded a house for an alleged wanted Palestinian.

However, the Israeli army left the camp without arresting the wanted person.

Clashes broke out resulting in the killing of Hashash and the wounding of eight others, according to the Red Crescent.

Israel kills teen with mental disability in refugee camp raid 
https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/israel-kills-teen-mental-disability-refugee-camp-raid

Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian man in the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus during a punitive home demolition overnight on Thursday.

He was identified as Khalil Yahya al-Anis. Local media circulated his picture following his killing:

Israeli authorities demolished the home of a man they accuse of the fatal shooting in October of Ido Baruch, 21, a soldier in the military's Givati brigade, which has been involved in serious crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and other places.
Collective punishment of this kind is a war crime that Israel only perpetrates against the families of Palestinians accused of harming Israelis, and never against the families of Israelis who harm Palestinians.

Israel has carried out at least 27 revenge demolitions since the beginning of 2022, according to Israeli human rights group B'Tselem.

This includes more than 10 this year alone. "At the current pace, it would be the most demolitions since 2016," The Washington Post reported, citing B'Tselem's figures.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces killed a mentally disabled teenager on Tuesday during their incursion into Balata refugee camp on the outskirts of the West Bank city of Nablus.

Israeli soldiers killed Faris Abd al-Munim Hashash, 19, while he was hiding behind a wall and observing the area where the army was stationed about 200 meters away.

He was shot with three live bullets, one in the abdomen and two in his thighs. Israeli forces also injured seven other people, including two children.

Local media circulated Hashash's picture following his killing:

Israeli forces had invaded the camp as mistaravim – undercover agents dressed as Palestinians – and stationed themselves around the family home of 20-year-old Isam Husam al-Salaj, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights.
Agents also took positions on the roofs of nearby homes while special forces cordoned off the house with al-Salaj and his family inside.

Israeli forces, who brought military vehicles and a drone, fired live ammunition and missiles at the house.

They seriously injured al-Salaj, who was evacuated to hospital after Israeli forces withdrew.

Palestinians in the camp confronted Israeli forces in an attempt to break the siege of the al-Salaj house.

Meanwhile, four Israeli soldiers and one settler were wounded in a shooting near the illegal Israeli settlement of Mevo Dotan in the northern occupied West Bank on Tuesday afternoon.

A vehicle with an Israeli license plate reportedly shot at an Israeli military vehicle with soldiers inside near the West Bank town of Yabad near Jenin.

Updated: "Army Kills Five Palestinians, Injures 100, 23 Seriously, In Jenin"
https://imemc.org/article/army-kills-five-palestinians-injures-100-23-seriously-in-jenin



The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that Israeli soldiers have killed five Palestinians, including a child, and injured at least 100, including 23 who suffered life-threatening wounds, in Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Health Ministry said the soldiers killed, in Jenin, Ahmad Khaled Daraghma, 19, from Tubas, in the northeastern West Bank.

The Palestinians who were killed by the army earlier Monday have been identified as Ahmad Yousef Saqer, 15, Khaled Azzam Asa'sa, 21, Qassam Faisal Abu Seriyya, 29, and Qais Majdi Adel Jabarin, 21,

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers injured at least 100 Palestinians, including 23 who suffered critical wounds.

At least 63 wounded Palestinians, including ten who suffered serious wounds, were transferred to Ar-Razi Hospital, and 27, including twelve seriously wounded Palestinians, were rushed to Ibn Sina Hospital.

One of the wounded is a young woman shot with a live round in the head before being rushed to Ar-Razi hospital in Jenin.

The Israeli army targeted many journalists with live fire, while military sharpshooters' gunfire pinned several reporters on a rooftop of an under-construction building.

The Israeli army said seven soldiers were injured, one seriously, when Palestinian fighters detonated an explosive device weighing more than 40 kilograms near their armored military vehicles and added that the explosion caused serious damage to the vehicle, although it was armored.



It also said that the fighters managed to cause damage to six other military vehicles after detonating explosive charges near them.

The army took over nine hours to retrieve its damaged vehicles due to the heavy fire exchange with Palestinian resistance fighters.

Earlier in the invasion, The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said Israeli military vehicles rammed one of its ambulances while transporting wounded Palestinians to the hospital and added that the soldiers shot a journalist, Hazem Nasser, with a live round in the abdomen. It also said that the soldiers continued to fire toward him until he reached an ambulance on foot.

Updated: Israeli Soldiers Kill Four Palestinians, Including A Child, Injure 45, Six Seriously, In Jenin
Jun 19, 2023, at 13:12



Earlier Monday, dozens of armored military vehicles and several military helicopters initiated a massive invasion of Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank, killing four Palestinians, including one child, and injuring more than 45, some seriously.

Update – The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed Qais Majdi Adel Jabarin, 21, in Jenin.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said Israeli military vehicles rammed one of its ambulances while transporting wounded Palestinians to the hospital and added that the soldiers shot a journalist, Hazem Nasser, with a live round in the abdomen. It also said that the soldiers continued to fire toward him until he reached an ambulance on foot.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers killed Ahmad Yousef Saqer, 15, Khaled Azzam Asa'sa, 21, and Qassam Faisal Abu Seriyya, 29.

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers injured at least 45 Palestinians, including ten who suffered life-threatening wounds; thirteen of the wounded Palestinians were shot with live fire.

It stated that nineteen Palestinians were rushed to Jenin governmental hospital, including a girl who suffered a serious gunshot wound to her head, and stated that one seriously injured Palestinian was rushed to the neurology department at the Ar-Razi hospital for urgent surgery, and seventeen to the Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital, including three who suffered serious wounds to the head, neck, and chest.

The invasion was first started by undercover Israeli soldiers, followed by dozens of armored military vehicles and military helicopters.

The soldiers also invaded and ransacked many homes, deployed sharpshooters on rooftops, and fired dozens of live rounds, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The Israeli army used military choppers to fire missiles at Palestinian fighters who exchanged fire with the invading soldiers in several parts of Jenin and detonated explosive charges, damaging at least two armored military vehicles.

The army also fired many live rounds at Palestinian ambulances trying to reach wounded Palestinians; the number of casualties could be larger than reported as the medics are still trying to enter the invaded areas but are attacked by the army.

The Israeli army said five soldiers were injured when their armored vehicle struck a bomb hidden on the road shortly after the soldiers exchanged fire with Palestinian resistance fighters before they were airlifted by a military helicopter.

The army added that the soldiers were extracting undercover Border Police forces that infiltrated Jenin to arrest wanted Palestinian fighters and arrested two Palestinians, identified as Assem Abu Al-Haija and Mos'ab Hasan Al-Barmaki.

A Palestinian teenager has succumbed to Israeli army gunshot wounds she sustained two days ago as a result of the Israeli military's deadly raid on the northern occupied West Bank city of Jenin.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health, identified the victim as 15-year-old Sadil Ghassan Turkman, noting she was shot in the head and passed away at Jenin Government Hospital early on Wednesday.

https://twitter.com/ShehabAgency/status/1671401056910147586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1671401056910147586%7Ctwgr%5E69819d7197c07bbc92526c9910aff49faa05589f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.presstv.ir%2FDetail%2F2023%2F06%2F21%2F705665%2FPalestinian-teenage-girl-dies-wounds-suffered-Israel-Jenin-raid

Separately, 55-year-old Nasser Saleh Sanan, who was also shot in the head by Israeli army gunfire during an assault on Jenin last month, succumbed late on Tuesday to his wounds.

Early on Monday, Israeli soldiers stormed Jenin and fired live ammunition, stun grenades and toxic gas.

Combat helicopters were used for the first time in decades after the ensuing hours-long exchange of gunfire between Palestinian resistance fighters and Israeli army soldiers.

At least five Palestinians were killed and 45 others wounded after Israeli troops raided the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
The health ministry identified the victims of Monday's attack as Ahmed Saqr, 15, Ahmed Daraghmeh, 19, Khaled Darwish, 21, Qassam Sariya, 19, Qassam Faisal Abu Sirriya, 29, and Sadil Ghassan Turkman, 15.

Four ambulances were also targeted by Israeli forces in Jenin, according to Nibal Farsakh, media and information officer at the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

They were "directly targeted with live ammunition, causing material damage to the structure and the glass of the ambulances themselves," Farsakh said.

Farsakh added that medical teams were first denied access and eventually arrived late to treat those who were injured at the scene. Some were "in a very severe condition" and needed urgent medical assistance.

The Israeli military said in a statement that the raid was to arrest two suspects and that its soldiers came under fire, which resulted in a "massive exchange of fire."

It confirmed seven of its soldiers were wounded during the attack.

According to the Quds News Network, Hazem Nasser, a Palestinian photojournalist was shot and injured during the Jenin raid.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemned the Israeli operation as a "heinous crime," while Hamas announced its support for resistance fighters in Jenin.

Since the start of 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 170 Palestinians, including 26 children, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The death toll includes 36 Palestinians, who lost their lives during a four-day Israeli army onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip between May 9 and 13.

Israeli forces shot a Palestinian teenager and left him bleeding to death near the Qalandiya military checkpoint, north of Jerusalem, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported citing eyewitness accounts.

According to eyewitnesses, the Palestinian teenager, who was identified as 17-year-old Ishaq Hamdi Ajlouni, opened fire at Israeli soldiers stationed at the Qalandiya checkpoint, lightly injuring an Israeli guard in the hand before he was shot and fatally injured.

Ajlouni was reportedly left bleeding on the ground for hours until he was declared dead.

Ajlouni was a resident of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Kufr Aqab, which falls within Israel's wall that segregates Jerusalem from the rest of Occupied West Bank.

With this death, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of the year rose to 179.

https://imemc.org/article/soldiers-seriously-shoot-a-palestinian-near-ramallah/

On Friday, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian man after shooting him with live fire in Um Safa village, north of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank's central part.

Mohammad Bahar, an Um Safa Village Council member, said the soldiers shot the young man in the chest in the Ar-Ras area in the northern part of the village.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the slain Palestinian Abdul-Jawad Hamdan Saleh, 24, succumbed to profoundly serious wounds at the Istishari hospital in Ramallah.

The Health Ministry added that soldiers shot Abdul-Jawad, from Aroura village, northwest of Ramallah, with a live round in the chest.

It is worth mentioning that dozens of soldiers invaded the village before noon Friday, anticipating a procession against establishing an illegal colonialist outpost at their village's southern entrance.

Bahar said the soldiers installed roadblocks, invaded buildings, and used their rooftops as monitoring towers before attacking the nonviolent protesters who marched following noon prayers.

Also, Israeli colonizers tried to assault several Palestinians with batons and hurled stones at them before the Israeli soldiers shot a young Palestinian man with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the arm.

It is worth mentioning that, on June 22, the colonizers installed an outpost on the stolen Palestinian lands, built barns, and brought dozens of cows.

The village has been subject to constant attacks by the soldiers who burnt homes, cars and opened fire at the Palestinians and their property.

Top Palestinian Highschool Graduate 'Executed' by Invading Israeli Soldiers in Nur Shams 
He had recently graduated with honors, but Mahmoud Abu Sa'an, 18 is now dead as a result of what Palestinian eyewitnesses describe as point-black execution by the Israeli army.
https://www.palestinechronicle.com/top-palestinian-highschool-graduate-executed-by-invading-israeli-soldiers-in-nur-shams/

An eighteen-year-old Palestinian was shot at point-blank range and killed Friday at dawn during an Israeli military incursion into Nur Shams camp to the east of Tukaram, in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army stormed the camp amid the heavy firing of live ammunition, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades at the camp's residents, leading to violent confrontations, the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA reported.

The young Palestinian, identified as Mahmoud Abu Sa'an, was shot in the head at point-blank range, eyewitnesses told WAFA.

Sa'an "was transferred to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after," the agency reported.

Sa'an had recently graduated with honors from high school and was reportedly ready to start his university studies in a few months.

Local mosques held special prayers for the young graduate and a large number of Palestinians descended into his family home in the camp to show support.

For its part, Aljazeera Arabic correspondent reported that Israel has repeatedly referenced the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps as their new targets following the July 3 invasion of the Jenin refugee camp.

Palestinian groups in the camp also issued statements stating they had confronted Israeli invading forces as they advanced into the area from several directions.

Millions of Palestinian refugees live in refugee camps throughout the Occupied Territories and throughout the region.

These camps have historically been a major source of resistance, including armed resistance, to the Israeli occupation.

Israel has increased its violence against Palestinians in recent months, oftentimes as a result of coordinating between the Israeli occupation army and Jewish settlers.

Palestinian Teenager Succumbs to Wounds Sustained by Jewish Settler's Bullets   
A 17-year-old Palestinian teenager succumbed on Sunday morning to the wounds he sustained a few days ago near the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced.
https://www.palestinechronicle.com/palestinian-teenager-succumbs-to-wounds-sustained-by-jewish-settlers-bullets/

The mayor of Silwad, Raed Hamed, said that the youth – identified as Ramzi Fathi Hamed – was shot by an illegal Jewish settler when he was in a car near the settlement of Ofra.

Medics said Hamed died of a severe pulmonary attack while getting treatment at a Ramallah hospital after he was shot by two bullets in the chest and belly.

Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.

"Jewish settler violence should not be analyzed separately from the violence meted out by the Israeli army, but seen within the larger context of the violent Zionist ideology that governs Israeli society entirely," wrote Palestinian author and editor of The Palestine Chronicle, Ramzy Baroud.

"Settler violence has long since become part of Palestinians' daily life under occupation," according to the Human Rights Group B'tselem. "Israeli security forces enable these actions, which result in Palestinian casualties – injuries and fatalities – as well as damage to land and property. In some cases, they even serve as an armed escort, or even join in the attacks".

Over 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.

On Friday afternoon, large crowds of local Palestinians gathered in front of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital to receive the body of the slain young man.

Mourners carried the body wrapped in the Palestinian flag, on their shoulders through the streets to the slain young man's family home in the eastern neighborhood.

Family and loved ones said their final goodbyes, before performing the funeral prayer at the Othman bin Affan Mosque in Tulkarem, before laying his body to rest in the western cemetery in Tulkarem.

Israeli occupation forces shot and killed, before dawn on Tuesday, two Palestinians, including a child, during a military incursion into the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, south of Jericho, in the northeastern part of the West Bank.

Media sources said that the occupation army stormed, in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday, the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, just south of the ancient city of Jericho.

Israeli soldiers opened fire at local Palestinians under unclear circumstances, however it is presumed that the youths protested the invasion.

There is no mention of resistance from armed Palestinian fighters, however social media videos show an exchange of fire between resistance fighters and the invading army.

During the invasion, soldiers shot and seriously injured two Palestinian civilians, including a child, who were transported to the Jericho Governmental Hospital.

Medical sources said that Qusai Omar al-Walaji, 16, and Muhammad Ribhi Nujoom, 25, were admitted to hospital in critical condition, and both were pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
