12 Palestinians Killed, Scores Injured and Abducted, Homes Demolished by Israeli Occupation Soldiers

November 10, 2022

"We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, unless for a soul, or for corruption in the land, it is as if he had killed humankind entirely" (The Holy Quran, Al-Ma-ida, 5: 32).

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.

In Bethlehem, the soldiers invaded the ‘Aida refugee camp north of the city, searched homes, and abducted Nour Atallah Mashayikh, 18.

Media sources said that, a week ago, the soldiers shot Nour with a live round in the thigh during an invasion of the refugee camp, and he is still recovering from his wounds.

The soldiers also closed the iron gate at the northern entrance of Tuqu’ town, southeast of Bethlehem, and prevented the Palestinians from crossing just hours after the army invaded the town and fired gas bombs and concussion grenades at Palestinians, protesting the invasion.

In Qalqilia, in the northern West Bank, the soldiers invaded and ransacked several homes in the city before abducting Osama Ahmad Sabri, Anas Mahmoud Sabri, and his brother Osama.

In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, the soldiers invaded Burqa town northwest of the city, searched a few homes, and abducted Abdul-Latif Ayman Abu Omar.

In Jenin, the soldiers surrounded the home of a Palestinian, Sidqi Al-Mer’ey, who is believed to be a member of an armed resistance group, and detonated the front door before storming the property.

Many Palestinians protested the invasion and hurled stones at the soldiers who fired many live rounds, wounding a young man in the leg.

During the invasion of Jenin, the soldiers exchanged fire with Palestinian fighters, especially in the Eastern Neighborhood, before the soldiers occupied rooftops to use as sniper posts.

Israeli Occupation Army To Demolish Home Of Slain Palestinian

 IMEMC, NOV 10, 2022

On Wednesday evening, the Israeli occupation army said it decided to demolish the home of a Palestinian who was killed after killing a soldier and wounding a guard in Maale Adumim illegal colony near occupied Jerusalem in the West Bank.

The army’s decision did not include a specific date or timeframe for the demolition of the family home of Odai Kamal Tamimi, 22, and the method of demolition, such as bulldozing the property or the use of explosives to level it.

The decision allows the family to file an appeal, however, in numerous similar cases, the appeals have all been denied, and the emotions were carried out; in many cases, the demolitions were conducted despite pending appeals and court orders.

Odai, from the Shu’fat refugee camp in Jerusalem, was killed on October 19th, following an exchange of fire with Israeli soldiers and armed guards in Maale Adumim, and on October 8th, he exchanged fire with soldiers and armed guards at the Shu’fat refugee camp, killing one soldier and wounding a guard.

After the October 8th shooting, the Israeli army imposed a strict siege on the Shu’fat refugee camp and Anata nearby town and prevented the Palestinians from entering or leaving the two areas, leading to massive ongoing protests, and lifted the siege five days later.

Israel’s policy of home demolitions is an act of illegal collective punishment, targeting entire families, in direct violation of International Law. Israel also does not demolish the homes of Israelis, especially colonialist settlers, who are responsible for killing or seriously wounding Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Silwanic also said that the soldiers assaulted two siblings in Silwan town, Fuad and Ziad Al-Qaq, and maced them with pepper spray before abducting Fu’ad. Ziad was moved to a medical center for treatment.

 IMEMC, NOV 10, 2022

On Wednesday, Israeli occupation soldiers killed a Palestinian worker while crossing the Annexation Wall heading to his work, west of Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the Israeli soldiers fatally shot Ra’fat Ali Ayasa, 29, from Sanur town, southwest of Jenin.

Mahmoud Saadi, the head of the Emergency Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Jenin, said the soldiers shot Ra’fat with several live rounds.

The Palestinian, a construction worker, was trying to enter occupied Jerusalem to work through a breach in a section of the illegal Annexation Wall when the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds at him and several other workers who managed to escape unharmed.

After shooting the Palestinian man, the soldiers took him to the Salem military base and later allowed his transfer to PRCS medics before he was rushed to the Ar-Razi Hospital in Jenin, where he was officially pronounced dead.

His uncle said that Ra’fat was a married father of one girl, had no political affiliation, and was only trying to work to provide for his family.

Thousands of Palestinians marched in Jenin, Jenin refugee camp, Sanur, and several other areas in Jenin, condemning the cold-blooded murder of the Palestinian worker and the seriously escalating Israeli violations.

Processions were also held in front of Khalil Suleiman governmental hospital in Jenin before the Palestinians marched in the city and the Jenin refugee camp, denouncing Ra’fat’s execution-style killing while all he wanted was to work to provide for his family.

One Israeli & One Palestinian Killed in West Bank Shooting

 IMEMC, OCT 30, 2022

On Saturday night, a shooting attack at the Kiryat Arba illegal colony in the southern West Bank city of Hebron resulted in the death of an Israeli settler and a Palestinian who allegedly carried out the shooting.

Update: The Israeli who was killed in the shooting has been identified as Ronen Hananya, 50, from Kiryat Arba. Another wounded Israeli, in his fifties, remains in critical condition, Israeli sources have confirmed.

A surveillance video released to Israeli media shows the Palestinian walking through the street holding a rifle and shooting before an Israeli car of an off-duty soldier, accompanied by a security agent working for the Kiryat Arba colony, sped toward him.

The car rams into the man at high speed, crashing his body and the car into a wall.

The car then backs away, and an Israeli settler jumps out and fires multiple rounds at the Palestinian now lying on the ground.

The Palestinian has been identified as Mohammad Kamel Al-Jabari, 35, from Hebron city. The army took his corpse after refusing to release Mohammad’s body to Palestinian medics.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics rushed to the area to provide essential aid to Mohammad, but the soldiers fired many live rounds at their ambulance, wounding a medic, Ahmad Abu Khaled, who was shot with a live round in the shoulder, and causing damage to the ambulance.

In addition to the Israeli man and the Palestinian man who were killed, an Israeli medic with the medical association Magen David was injured in the attack and was brought to the Israeli hospital in Shaare Tzedek Medical Center.

Another Palestinian was also wounded with gunshot fire. He was only identified as a 37-year-old man, and his injuries were described as moderate.

Israeli daily Haaretz said three Israelis, including the son of the man who was killed, where taken to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.

It added that the seriously wounded man 50-year-old Israeli man remained in a critical condition until he succumbed to his wounds.

Haaretz also said that a fourth Israeli, Ofer Ohana, a Magen David Adom medic, was transferred to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center where he remained unconscious and on life support.

Initial reports claimed that the attack appeared to target the home of right-wing Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who lives in Kiryat Arba, but an Israeli military spokesperson said that this was not a targeted attack on Ben-Gvir but appeared instead to be targeting an Israeli military guard post.

While some Israeli reports claimed Mohammad was a member of Hamas, his family said he wasn’t involved with any party or group and was an Islamic studies teacher and a married father of two children.

Updated From:  Israeli Soldiers Kill One Palestinian, Injure Two, Near Nablus  Oct 28, 2022, at 03:52

On Friday dawn, Israeli soldiers killed one Palestinian and injured two others, one seriously, near the Huwwara military roadblock south of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers fired many live rounds at the car of Emad Abu Rashid, 47, shooting him with several bullets in the abdomen and the head.

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers also seriously injured two Palestinians after shooting one in the abdomen and one in the chest.

Emad, from Askar refugee camp northeast of Nablus, was a member of the member of the Palestinian Civil Defense that provides emergency services to the Palestinians, including medical, firefighting and rescue operations and training

Palestinian medics rushed to the area, but the soldiers refused to allow them to provide any treatment to Emad or the other seriously wounded Palestinians.

The medics were later allowed to take Emad to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where the doctors tried to save his life, but he succumbed to his wounds.

The Israeli army claimed that, about an hour earlier, Palestinian fighters fired several live rounds at the Huwwara roadblock and sped away, adding that the soldiers were looking for two Palestinian cars believed to be involved in the shooting.

The Israeli army said the shooting did not lead to any injuries and added that the soldiers initiated a search campaign in the area before locating several backpacks believed to have been used by the Palestinian resistance fighters.

The army added that the soldiers “shot four Palestinians, including one who was shot in the thigh before the soldiers arrested him.”

Palestinian sources said the soldiers fired many live rounds randomly hitting several vehicles, including Emad’s car.
