9 Palestinians Killed, Scores Injured and Abducted by Israeli Occupation Regime Forces

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of David, Solomon, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Also, Palestinian resistance fighters exchanged fire with Israeli soldiers who invaded Jenin and again while withdrawing from the city.

Palestinian Dies From Serious Wounds He Suffered In Gaza

 DEC 9, 2022

The Shehab News Agency has reported that a Palestinian man died Friday dawn from serious wounds he suffered in August of this year, 2022, during the Israeli occupation regime offensive on the Gaza Strip.

It said Nabil Shallah, 59, from the Sheja’eyya neighborhood east of Gaza city, has died from his wounds at a hospital in the coastal region.

The Palestinian man suffered life-threatening wounds when the Israeli army fired missiles at homes and buildings near Abu Samra Mosque in the Sheja’eyya neighborhood.

The Israeli offensive on Gaza started with the assassination of Taiseer Mohammad al-Ja’bari, 50, a senior leader of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, when the Israeli air force fired missiles at Burj Falasteen (Palestine Tower) in the center of Gaza City, on August 5th, killing many civilians in the apartment building and wounding dozens.

The Palestine Tower has thirteen floors and many government offices and media centers. The bombing also caused damage to many surrounding buildings, stores, and commercial facilities.

The three-day offensive on Gaza led to the death of 49 Palestinians, including fifteen children and four women, and caused 360 injuries, including 151 children and 58 women; many of the injured suffered life-threatening wounds.

Earlier Friday morning, Israeli navy ships attacked Palestinian fishing boats with live fire and gas bombs near the shores of the northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Israeli Occupation Soldiers Kill A Palestinian Teen Near Ramallah

 DEC 9, 2022

On Thursday evening, Israeli occupation soldiers killed a teenage boy, seriously injured two others, and wounded three in Aboud village, northwest of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said it was officially informed of the death of Dia’ Mohammad Shafiq Rimawi, 16, at an Israeli medical center.

The Health Ministry added that two teens sustained serious injuries and were taken to Israeli medical centers.

It stated that the soldiers shot two other teenage boys, causing moderate wounds, before Palestinian medics rushed them to a clinic in Beit Rima village, northwest of Ramallah; One was shot in the chest and the other in his leg.

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers left Dia’ bleeding on the ground without medical aid after refusing to allow Palestinian medics to approach him.

After his death, the corpse of the slain child was transferred to the Palestinian side and was moved to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah. His funeral procession is scheduled to be held Friday in Beit Rima.

One of Dia’s relatives said he, the oldest sibling in his family, was an eleventh-grade student at a school in Beit Rima and is the nephew of Wiliam Rimawi, imprisoned by Israel and serving a 32-year sentence.

On Thursday dawn, Israeli soldiers killed three young men and injured several Palestinians after the army invaded Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinians as Sidqi Siddeeq Zakarna, 29, from Jenin city, Tareq Fawzi Ad-Damaj, 29, from Jenin refugee camp, and Ata Yassin Shalabi, 46, from Qabatia town, south of Jenin.

According to the Health Ministry, the child’s death brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and colonizers since the beginning of this year to 217, 165 of them in the West Bank and 52 in the Gaza Strip.

PCHR: “New Crime of Extrajudicial Execution: 3 Palestinians were Killed, including a Civilian, in a shooting attack by the Israeli Occupation Forces in Jenin”

 DEC 8, 2022

The Palestinian Center For Human Rights (PCHR): IOF killed 3 Palestinians, including a civilian, while he was trying to pull out the two dead bodies who were members of the Palestinian resistance and killed in direct gunfire as part of the Israeli occupation  army extrajudicial executions. They were ambushed by IOF in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, deep in PA-controlled areas.

According to PCHR’s investigations and eyewitnesses’ testimonies, at approximately 04:00, on Thursday, 08 December 2022, an Israeli special force from the “Yamam Unit” sneaked into the center of the Eastern Neighborhood in the old city of Jenin, set an ambush nearby Al-Razi Hospital and roofed its snipers of several buildings in the area.

The latter opened fire on two Kia vehicles (brown and silver) and killed their drivers on the main street in the Area. Later on, they were identified as they were members of the Palestinian resistance, namely: Sedqi Siddiq Zakarneh (29), and Tareq Fawzi ‘Issa Salem (Al-Dajm) (26). According to investigations conducted by PCHR, there were no clashes in the area, nor eyewitnesses at the time of the shooting attack.

Moments later, an Opel Corsa Palestinian vehicle carrying 4 citizens were driving to their work in Israel and stopped on the right of the road as other vehicles arrived behind it on the Street.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian ambulance arrived as a number of civilians got out of their vehicles and went in the ambulance to help the paramedics to evacuate the two dead bodies from the place when IOF snipers opened fire at the civilians and paramedics, killing ‘Ata Yaseen Mahmoud Al-Shalabi (46), a worker from Qabatiya town in Jenin, after he was shot with 7 bullets, one in the head and the rest in the abdomen as he was trying to carry one of the dead bodies from the Place.

Citizens and paramedics were able to transfer the 3 dead bodies to Al-Razi and Ibn Sina Hospitals in Jenin. Later, IOF reinforcements arrived and broke into the area to secure the withdrawal of Israeli special force. Before withdrawing, at around 06:00, IOF arrested 3 civilians, raided and searched the Ministry of Culture building on the Street.

It is worth noting that extrajudicial killings are carried out pursuant to IOF intelligence services’ knowledge, and those who wanted are killed instantly rather than arresting them. Therefore, IOF play in these operation the judge’s roles by deciding a death sentence and executing it.

PCHR condemns in the strongest terms the assassination crime and the killings without any justification and emphasizes that IOF have always used this type of crimes in the recent years against the Palestinians in light of international community silence, particularly the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention, and inaction to stop these crimes and take effective measures against the Israeli occupation, encouraging Israel to commit further war crimes against the Palestinians.

PCHR reiterates its call upon the international community to take immediate action to end Israeli occupation’s crimes and demands the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention fulfil their obligations as per Common Article 1 of the Convention, “undertake to respect and to ensure respect for the present Convention in all circumstances,” and their obligations under Article 146 of the same Conventions, i.e., to hold accountable persons accused of committing grave breaches of the Convention.

Israeli Occupation Soldiers Kill Three Palestinians In Jenin

 DEC 8, 2022

On Thursday dawn, Israeli occupation soldiers killed three young men and injured several Palestinians after the army invaded Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.

The invasion was carried out by dozens of armored military vehicles, including bulldozers before the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes and occupied rooftops to use as sniper posts and monitoring towers.

The invasion led to massive protests in Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp before the soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

A Palestinian cab driver said he saw several Israeli military vehicles at a distance and noticed the undercover Israeli soldiers at an intersection nearby before he saw the soldiers shoot one of the Palestinians not far from his car.

He added that he saw another Palestinian killed by the soldiers not far from where the soldiers fatally shot the first young man.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinians as Sidqi Siddeeq Zakarna, 29, from Jenin city, Tareq Fawzi Ad-Damaj, 29, from Jenin refugee camp, and Ata Yassin Shalabi, 46, from Qabatia town, south of Jenin.

One of Ata’s relatives said the young man worked at an Israeli factory in a colony near Al-Jalama and was heading to his work when he saw a car that had the bodies of Sidqi and Tareq and rushed to try to help them, but just as he reached the car, the soldiers shot him with a live round in the head, three in the chest and three in the back.

Palestine TV said the soldiers shot Sidqi with several live rounds before one of the military jeeps sped toward and ran over him.

It added that the soldiers fired several live rounds at a Palestinian ambulance transporting a wounded Palestinian and that the driver was almost killed when the soldiers fired live rounds at its windshield.

The soldiers also shot with live fire two other Palestinians, inflicting moderate-to-severe wounds, medical sources have confirmed.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched in front of Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin, carrying the corpses of the three slain Palestinians and chanting for ongoing resistance until liberation and independence.

Palestinian national and Islamic factions in Jenin announced a general strike and called on the Palestinians to participate in the funeral procession of the slain men.

On Wednesday evening, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli occupation soldiers killed a Palestinian man in Deir Dibwan town, east of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank. The army also shot and seriously injured a young man in Kafr Ein village northwest of Ramallah.

The Health Ministry said the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed it that the soldiers killed Mojahed Mahmoud Hamed, 32, from Silwad town, east of Ramallah.

It added that the soldiers chased the young man, opened fire at him, and took him to an unknown destination before the Israeli side later informed the General Authority of Civil Affairs that the young man had died from his wounds.

The Health Ministry added that the army initially refused to allow the transfer of the corpse of the slain young man to the Palestinians, but later all handed his body to a Palestinian ambulance before he was moved to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.

The Israeli occupation army claimed the soldiers “neutralized a suspect who opened fire at their military post from a speeding car.”

The army alleged that the soldiers “pursued the car and fired at the suspect who was driving while firing at the soldiers” and that the army initiated a search campaign “looking for more suspects” and added that no soldiers were injured in the incident.

The soldiers also invaded Kafr Ein village, northwest of Ramallah, leading to protests, before shooting a young man with several live rounds in the chest, pelvis, and thigh; his wounds have been described as moderate-to-severe.

 DEC 5, 2022

On Monday dawn, Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian man, abducted three young men, including his brother, and injured at least six.

Palestinian TV said the soldiers surrounded the Deheisheh refugee camp and occupied the rooftops of tall buildings overlooking it before undercover officers infiltrated it using a car carrying Palestinian license plates.

It added that the Palestinians became aware of the undercover officers before many armored military vehicles invaded the refugee camp, leading to protests.

The soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers shot Omar Yousef Manna’ Fararja, 22, with live rounds in the chest and killed him.

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers also shot six Palestinians with live fire to their extremities before Palestinian medics rushed them to Bethlehem hospitals.

The soldiers also stormed and ransacked many homes and abducted three Palestinians, Omar’s brother, Yazan Fararja, 24, in addition to Odai Essam Abu Nassar, 24, and his brother Mu’ath, 27.

On Monday afternoon, thousands of Palestinians held a funeral procession that started in Deheishe refugee camp and headed towards the Shuhada Graveyard in the Artas village, south of Bethlehem.

It is worth mentioning that Omar was also a political prisoner, imprisoned by Israel several times, including when he was held under the arbitrary Administrative Detention orders without charges or trial.

Israeli Occupation Soldier Kills A Palestinian Near Nablus

 DEC 2, 2022

On Friday, an Israeli occupation soldier killed a young Palestinian man after dropping him to the ground in Huwwara town, south of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the slain young man has been identified as Ammar Hamdi Mifleh, 22, from Osarin village, south of Nablus.

The Health Ministry said the soldiers prevented a Palestinian ambulance and medics from approaching the wounded young man, who succumbed to his wounds before the army took his corpse to an unknown destination.

A Video documenting the Israeli attack shows the soldier wrapping his arm around the young man’s neck and trying to drag him away before two Palestinians tried to intervene and de-escalate the situation.

The young man, who managed to get free from the soldier’s neck hold, wrestled with him for brief seconds before the soldier started removing his pistol out of its holster, his rifle fell in the process, and then he pushed the Palestinian, dropping him to the ground, before firing four rounds at him.

The soldier then approached the Palestinian again and before using his pistol to fire another round in a clear indication he executed the young man although he posed no threat, before picking up his rifle.

The soldier’s life was not in danger, especially since the young man was already on the ground, and he could have subdued him at gunpoint to allow other soldiers to arrest him.

Eyewitnesses said the scuffle was fast and brief and that when the Palestinians seemed to have grabbed the muzzle area of the rifle, he was trying to ensure it wasn’t pointed at him.

The Israeli occupation army claimed a Palestinian “stabbed a police officer in Huwwara” before he was shot by the soldiers, adding that the officer suffered mild wounds.

The allegation cannot be substantiated, while eyewitnesses said the fatal shooting of the young man had nothing to do with the alleged stabbing,

According to the army, “the Palestinian attempted to snatch the weapon from the soldier before his rifle fell” however, even that scenario does not justify firing four life rounds at the Palestinian who was already on the ground and was unarmed.

The young man’s execution led to massive protests in Huwwara before the soldiers shot a young man with a rubber-coated steel bullet and caused dozens to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates denounced the execution of the young man and described it as “a cold-blooded murder committed by a racist Israeli occupation soldier encouraged by the extremist political and military leadership in Israel.”

It added that Israel’s policies allowing soldiers to use live fire against unarmed Palestinians are all part of the political incitement, hatred, and racism of the Israeli political and military leaderships and the illegal paramilitary colonizers who became a second army occupying Palestine.

The Ministry called on the International Criminal Court and the International Community to end their deadly silence, prosecute the war criminals, and end this illegal, criminal colonialist occupation of Palestine and its seriously escalating crimes.

Israeli Army Demolishes A Mosque Near Hebron

 DEC 5, 2022

On Monday, Israeli occupation soldiers demolished a mosque in a Palestinian village near Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said several military vehicles and bulldozers invaded the Khallet Taha village in Doura town, southwest of Hebron, and surrounded the area of a local mosque.

The sources added that the soldiers demolished the local Rasoul Allah Mosque (The Prophet of God Mosque), roughly about 100 square meters.

Khallet Taha is one of the several areas in Hebron targeted by illegal Israeli colonialist activities, especially since Israel is trying to annex 3000 Dunams of Palestinian lands to expand the illegal Nagihot colony, built on stolen Palestinian lands.

All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
