Israeli Occupation Regime Continues Killing, Injuring, Abducting Palestinians, and Demolishing of their Homes

July 27, 2022

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 abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

IMEMC, July 27, 2022

On Tuesday evening, Israeli occupation soldiers shot a young Palestinian man at the Huwwara military roadblock, south of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said the Palestinian, who remained unidentified at the time of this report, was shot at the roadblock before the soldiers closed the area.

They added that Palestinian Red Crescent Society medics (PRCS) rushed to the roadblock, but the soldiers refused to allow them to reach the wounded young man.

The soldiers then detained the wounded young man and took him to an unknown destination after closing the entire area.

The Israeli army claims a soldier “neutralized and arrested” the Palestinian when he reportedly approached the roadblock “while carrying a knife before the soldiers fired in the air before shooting him.”

IMEMC, July 27, 2022

Israeli occupation soldiers killed, Sunday dawn, two Palestinians and injured nineteen, including one who suffered a serious gunshot wound to the head, in the Old City of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has confirmed that the soldiers killed Abboud Sobeh, 29, and Mohammad al-Azizi, 22, in the al-Yasmina neighborhood in Nablus’s Old City.

The PRCS added that the soldiers shot nineteen other Palestinians, including ten who were shot with live fire, among them one who was shot in the head and is in critical condition.

The incidents took place after undercover Israeli soldiers infiltrated Nablus before many armored military vehicles invaded it from several directions, resulting in exchanges of fire between the invading soldiers and Palestinian resistance fighters.

The soldiers surrounded a home where several Palestinian resistance fighters were located and exchanged fire with them for several hours before the army fired a few missiles at the property, killing the two young men, while the five others managed to escape unharmed.

The missiles caused excessive damage to the home and several surrounding homes, buildings, and managed cars parked on the sides of the street.

The soldiers withdrew from Nablus a few hours after killing the two Palestinians and wounding twelve, leaving massive destructed to homes and buildings.

Nablus Abu Rudeina, the spokesperson of the Palestinian President, denounced the invasion, the killing of the two Palestinians, and the injuring of the twelve and said that Israel is only interested in escalation and more violence.

Abu Rudeina added that the ongoing illegal Israeli occupation and oppression is meant to cause further escalation to avoid any peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict, based on all international legitimacy resolutions.

Israeli soldiers shot, Sunday dawn, nine Palestinians, including one who was shot with a live round in the head, after Israeli soldiers invaded the Old City of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Medical sources said three Palestinians suffered moderate wounds, one was shot in the head and is in critical condition, and at least five suffered mild-to-moderate injuries.

All the wounded Palestinians were shot with live rounds before the medics rushed them to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus.

They added that the medics had to take alternate and longer routes to reach the invaded areas after the army blocked many streets and refused to allow them to cross.

The Quds News Network said the attacks occurred when dozens of soldiers invaded the Old City, especially the al-Yasmina neighborhood, leading to protests before the army fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

An Israeli army spokesperson said the soldiers invaded Nablus’s Old City to arrest Palestinians before Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with them.

The Palestinians used loudspeakers of several mosques calling for blood donations at the hospital and asking to help the families in the invaded areas.

The soldiers also invaded and searched several buildings overlooking the Old City and occupied their rooftops to use them as firing posts and monitoring towers.

During the invasion, the soldiers fired an anti-personnel rocket at a home they surrounded in the al-Yasmin neighborhood in the Old City.

The family was in the property and was pleading to be allowed to leave but the soldiers are surrounding their home.

Nablus has been subject to constant Israeli military invasions and violations, in addition to exchanges of fire, after the undercover Israeli soldiers assassinated three young men on February 8th, 2022.

On Saturday evening, the soldiers abducted six Palestinians from Shu’fat refugee camp, in occupied Jerusalem, after storming their homes and violently searching them.

Media sources said the Israeli District Coordination Office transferred the course of Rafiq Riyad Ghanem, 20, from Jaba’ town, south of Jenin, to his father and the General Commission for Civil Affairs and the District Coordination Office.

He wasn’t participating in protests when the soldiers shot him; his mother said he was wearing shorts and a tank top when he stepped out of the family home minutes before being shot.

His uncle, Hani Ghanem, is also a former political prisoner who was imprisoned by Israel for eighteen years, while his aunt, Ni’ma Ghanem, was killed by the Israeli twenty years earlier, and his grandfather was killed in the year 1948.

Hani said that Rafiq heard a sound near his home and went out to see what was going on before the undercover soldiers, standing at a distance behind him, shot him with two live rounds.

The soldiers also invaded Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp before undercover officers, driving a car with Palestinian license plates, abducted a former political prisoner, Amid al-Isran, from the refugee camp.

The undercover officers fired a barrage of live rounds at random while withdrawing from the refugee camp and handed Amid to soldiers who forced him in a military vehicle and sped away.

Also, Mousa Khatib said the undercover officers shot his son Fadi Khatib, 20, a former political prisoner who Israel imprisoned for 18 months while standing in front of his home, causing a moderate injury to his leg.

PCHR: “As Part of Collective Punishment Policy: IOF Demolish 2 Family Houses of 2 Palestinian Prisoners”

IMEMC, July 27, 2022

The Palestinian Center For Human Rights – 26 July 2022:

Under its collective punishment policy against families of Palestinians accused of conducting attacks against Israeli occupation forces (IOF) or settlers, IOF demolished two family houses of two Palestinian prisoners in Salfit in the West Bank. During the demolition, clashes broke out between Palestinians and IOF; as a result, 4 Palestinians were injured.

According to investigations conducted by Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), at around 22:30 on Monday 25 July 2022, IOF accompanied with vehicles, trucks, and demolition equipment, moved into Qarawet Bani Hassan village, western Salfit.

IOF surrounded 2 family houses of prisoners Yousif Samih ‘Asi and Yehia Mohammed Mer’ie, who are both accused of conducting a shooting attack near Ari’el settlement on 03 April 2022 that killed the settlement’s security guard. IOF moved into the 2 houses at the same time and forced their residents to leave in order to put the demolition equipment and boxes.

At around 00:10 on Tuesday, 26 July 2022, IOF’s bulldozers demolished prisoner Samih ‘Asi’s 2-storey house, where his family of 8, including his wife and 5 children, lives.

The demolition continued until 03:00. Meanwhile, IOF planted explosives inside prisoner Yehia Mer’ie’s 4-storey house, where a family of 10, including a woman and 3 children, lives, and denoted it in two stages: the first at 07:30 and the second at 08:00.

During the incursion and demolition, clashes broke out with Palestinians as IOF fired live and rubber bullets, wounding 4 Palestinians with rubber bullets.

Mohammed ‘Awad Mer’ie, Yehia’s father, said to PCHR’s fieldworker

“IOF suddenly raided our house and informed us to evacuate as they would blow it up in 2 minutes. I told them to give us some time because it is not that easy to evacuate as we have children, an elderly, and medicines. We were not given enough time and could not take anything from the house except for my 86-year-old father’s medicine. We could barely take my father out because he does not move while my grandchildren started crying and screaming after being surprised with IOF’s raid of the house having demolition equipment and boxes and rendering them homeless at a time like this. Later, they denoted the house, turning it into a pile of rubble.”

”So far in 2022, IOF demolished 8 houses and sealed a nineth after destroying its internal contents under IOF’s collective punishment policy. Meanwhile, there are many houses threatened of demolition on the same grounds.

PCHR condemns the crime of house demolitions that falls within the collective punishment policy adopted by IOF and covered by the Israeli judiciary.

PCHR reminds that this policy is internationally prohibited according to Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which states that, “No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited. Pillage is prohibited. Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited.”

Therefore, PCHR reiterates its call upon the international community to take immediate action to put an end to the Israeli crimes; and reiterates its call upon the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention to fulfill their obligations under Article 1; i.e., to respect and ensure respect for the Convention in all circumstances and their obligations under Article 146 to prosecute persons alleged to commit grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

These grave breaches constitute war crimes under Article 147 of the same Convention and Protocol (I) Additional to the Geneva Conventions regarding the guarantee of Palestinian civilians’ right to protection in the occupied Palestinian territory.
