Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian Farmer, 68, Near Jenin

[Mac Seafraidh]

29/10/2008 Israeli occupation troops shot and killed an elderly Palestinian farmer on Wednesday while operating near the occupied West Bank town of Jenin on Wednesday.
 
Palestinian security sources and the Israeli occupation army both confirmed the incident.
 
An army spokesman said occupation troops on patrol in the area shot the man after he opened fire at them.
 
One Palestinian security source identified the Palestinian martyr as a 68-year-old farmer, Mohammed Abari, and said he was carrying a shotgun as he herded cattle in the village of Al-Yamoun.
 
The official Voice of Palestine radio reported that soldiers entered the village and surprised Abahreh, who emerged from his house to check on a commotion he heard outside.
 
The radio said Abahreh, who supports a family of 14, was shot in the back and left to bleed for two hours until the soldiers ended their patrol and allowed a Palestinian ambulance to pick him up.
 
An Israeli army spokesman discounted the report, saying: "The troops did not prevent the evacuation and even guided the Red Crescent ambulance to the area so that it could get there as soon as possible."
 
Abahreh's son, Warrad, was also killed by Israeli soldiers three years ago, the report said.

2008-10-29

Invading Zionist soldiers shot and killed an unarmed 67-year-old Palestinian farmer in the northern West Bank town of Al-Yamun on Wednesday morning, witnesses said.

Witnesses said the man, Muhammad Abahra, heard noise near his agricultural storehouse, and as he went out with a hand lantern to check, he saw Zionist forces besieging the area and ransacking his neighbors' homes. They immediately shot him dead.

The witnesses added that Zionist forces stormed several homes leaving Abahra to bleed to death. Abahra's son, Warrad was also killed by Zionist forces on 9 July 2005.

Separately Zionist forces seized 11 Palestinians during overnight raids in Nablus, Qalqilia, Jenin and Ramallah in the West Bank. They claimed a Kalashnikov machinegun was found with one of the arrestees in Salfit in the northern West bank.
