2 Palestinians Killed, Scores Injured in Gaza and the West Bank, in Attacks by Israeli Occupation Soldiers

November 11, 2018 

Editor's Note:

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 of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Palestinian Dies From Serious Wounds He Suffered Two Weeks Ago Near Ramallah

November 11, 2018 3:47 AM IMEMC News

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah, in central West Bank, has reported that a young man died, Saturday, from serious wounds he suffered two weeks earlier, when Israeli occupation soldiers fired live rounds at Palestinians, protesting the illegal annexation of their lands, near Ramallah.

The Palestinian, identified as Mohammad Ibrahim Shreiteh, 28, was from al-Mazra’a al-Gharbiyya village, northwest of Ramallah.

He suffered a serious injury on October 26, 2018, when the soldiers attacked nonviolent protesters marching in the an-Na’lan area, against the illegal annexation of their lands, especially since the soldiers and colonialist settlers are trying to confiscate large areas, including public park.

The Ministry said Shreiteh shot with a live round in the head, and also sustained in the chest and limbs.

On the same day of his injury, the soldiers killed Othman Ahmad Ladadweh, 33, after shooting him with a bullet in his thigh, which penetrated towards his abdomen. The soldiers also wounded seven others, assaulted journalists, and shot one.

Ladadweh was shot with a live round in the upper thigh, but the bullet went through his spleen and liver, causing a very serious injury before he was rushed to the Istishari Hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds.

Following Othman’s death, the Al-Haq Center for Applied International Law conducted a field investigation into the fatal shooting and said that the soldiers who opened fire at Mohammad and other Palestinian protesters in the area aimed at harming as many of them as possible.

Al-Haq reached this conclusion following its field documentation and follow-up, in addition to the review of eyewitness accounts, affidavits, and further available evidence, which showed that an Israeli soldier opened fire continuously and in a half-circle-shape towards protesting Palestinian youth, from a close distance.

Al-Haq added that the excessive use of force by the soldiers is similar to an incident which took place on 26 October 2018, north-west of al-Mazra’a al-Gharbiyya, and to another incident that took place on 24 October 2018, in Tammoun village, in the Tubas Governorate, where Mohammad Bisharat was killed by the soldiers, and a number of others were injured.
