March 1, 2017: Sa’ad Mahmoud Ali Qaisiyya, 25, was killed by an Israeli colonizer in the Mor Farm outpost near Taneh Omarim Israeli settlement in Hebron in the southern part of the West Bank.

The Israeli army claimed the young man attacked the colonizer and stabbed him, causing minor wounds.

It added that “the Palestinian entered the farm before the settler heard noises behind his property, and saw a man carrying two knives, then he ran towards his home to grab his weapon, while the Palestinian chased him, and stabbed him in his home, then the wounded settler shot him.”

Israeli medics rushed to the scene and provided the Israeli settler with treatment for his minor wounds.

Palestinian sources said Sa’adi bled to death without receiving any medical treatment.
