Hama AshqarFebruary 07, 2023: Hamza Amjad Al-Ashqar, 17, from Askar Al-Jadid refugee camp in Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, after shooting him with a live round in the face. The assassination took place on Tuesday before dawn.

Media sources said several armored military vehicles invaded Nablus, leading to protests by local youth, some of whom threw stones at the invading military force.

The Israeli soldiers in their armored vehicles fired a barrage of live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the children and youth in the refugee camp.

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers shot the child when the military vehicles were withdrawing from the Housing Projects in the Askar al-Jadid refugee camp in Nablus.

In a video of the invasion, taken by a local Palestinian resident on their phone, the Israeli army vehicles are seen withdrawing, and as they are withdrawing, the soldiers fired several live rounds. Then a man can be heard screaming, “ambulance… ambulance..” when Hamza was shot in the head.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers also shot six Palestinians, including one who suffered serious wounds, and caused at least three to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

The PRCS added that the soldiers attacked one of its ambulances and stopped medics who were rushing to provide aid to wounded Palestinians.

In related news, the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, said its fighters managed to down and take possession of an Israeli military drone during the military’s invasion of Nablus.

Palestinian fighters of the Lion’s Den group, which unites fighters from various factions, said they exchanged fire with the soldiers invading Nablus.

On Monday dawn, Israeli soldiers killed five Palestinians, including two siblings, injured many others, and abducted eight, in the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, south of Jericho, in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.

The refugee camps in the West Bank are made up of the three generations of Palestinians displaced in 1948 when Israel was created on the land of historic Palestine, and they were displaced from what had been their homes in what is now Israel.

Since 1948, the state of Israel has never declared its borders and has encroached further and further onto Palestinian land in a blatant attempt to colonize all of historic Palestine while displacing its original inhabitants.

The Israeli army has killed 42 Palestinians, including nine children and one woman, since the beginning of this year.

February 06, 2023: Malek Lafi, 22, was one of four Palestinians shot and killed by Israeli soldiers during an invasion of the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp south of Jericho in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank. Among those killed were a pair of brothers. The Israeli soldiers also injured many other Palestinians and abducted eight.

The slain Palestinians were identified as Rafat ًWa’el Owadat, 21, and his brother Ibrahim, 27, Adham Majdi Awadat, 22, and Malek Lafi, 22.

Tha’er Khaled Awadat, 27, was initially reported as killed – and the Israeli military did nothing to correct those accounts, having taken the bodies of the slain Palestinians, including Tha’er’s. But ten days later, on February 16th, the Israeli military informed the Palestinian Authority that Tha’er was still alive but in critical condition, hooked to life support machines at an Israeli Medical Center in Jerusalem.

The Israeli soldiers took the corpses of the deceased away after refusing to allow Palestinian medics to take them.

The Israeli army and the Israel Security Agency (Shabak) said they carried out a joint operation to capture Palestinian fighters in the refugee camp and exchanged fire with them.

The army added that its soldiers killed the five Palestinians, who they claimed were all resistance fighters. The army spokesperson also said that the invasion was targeting alleged Hamas fighters suspected of firing at a restaurant in the illegal Vered Yeriho Israeli colony on January 27h.

The army also claimed that soldiers spotted one of the Palestinians suspected of involvement in the shooting before he fled while firing at them, leading to a pursuit ending at a building in a refugee camp where the fighters were hiding, resulting in an exchange of fire.

The Palestinian Health Ministry described the attack as a slaughter and said three of the wounded were not resistance fighters, including one who suffered life-threatening wounds.

The Israeli army has frequently been invading the refugee camp since January 27, leading to massive protests and exchanges of fire with Palestinian fighters and demolishing several homes and structures.

The army also said its soldiers arrested six Palestinians during the invasion, including two believed to be affiliated with the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.

Palestinian sources have confirmed that the soldiers abducted eight Palestinians, including siblings, during the offensive and identified them as Shaker Amarna, Mohammad Riyad Oweidat, Abdul-Hafeth Wa’el Oweidat, Abdul-Hafeth Fakhr Oweidat, and his brother, Mohammad, Ehab Mohammad Hmeidat and his brother Ahmad.

The offensive in the refugee camp started before dawn, Monday, when the soldiers shot three Palestinians with live fire and caused at least three to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Early Saturday morning, many armored Israeli military vehicles, including bulldozers, invaded Aqbat Jabr camp, shot thirteen Palestinians, including three who suffered life-threatening wounds, demolished four homes, and abducted at least five Palestinians, including a father and two of his sons.

Last Sunday night, undercover soldiers killed Ahmad and his brother Ehab Mohammad Hmeidat in a coffee shop at the main entrance of the refugee camp.

Various armed resistance groups and political factions, including Al-Qassam Brigades, the National Resistance Committees, and the Popular Front for the Liberation Of Palestine (PFLP), issued statements mourning the slain Palestinian fighters and vowing retaliation and ongoing resistance until liberation.

Ismael Haniya, the head of the Political Bureau of the Hamas movement, said the resistance against the occupation will never cease until ending the illegal Israeli occupation and the liberation of Palestine, and added that the resistance fighters in Jericho “were heroes who fought with courage and determination.”

Haniyya added that the ongoing Israel crimes against the Palestinian people only lead to more determination and ongoing resistance.

Abdullah Samih Qalalwa

contact@ifamericansknew.org

AbdullahFebruary 03, 2023: Abdullah Samih Ahmad Qalalwa, 25, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers with a live bullet fired into his heart.

The killing took place during an Israeli military invasion of several parts of the West Bank. The soldiers shot Abdullah by the Huwwara military roadblock, south of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Local sources reported that the soldiers shot Abdullah Samih Ahmad Qalalwa, 25, with a live round in the chest.

Abdullah, a married father of a newborn baby boy, worked in the surveying department (Land Authority) of the Palestinian Authority. His brother, Ibrahim, works for Palestine TV.

The Israeli army claimed that Abdullah tried to snatch a soldier’s weapon, an allegation frequently used by the army in similar cases, and could not be substantiated.

After shooting the young man, the soldiers left him bleeding on the ground without first aid and refused to allow Palestinian medics to reach him until he bled to death.

The army initially stated that the soldiers shot the Palestinian in the legs, but when the Palestinian medics took him to a hospital in Nablus, the doctors found out that he was shot in the chest.

Abdullah was from Al-Jadida village, south of Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

After receiving news of his death, his mother was rushed to a hospital after suffering shock.

In addition to killing Abdullah, Israeli forces also injured several Palestinians with live ammunition in Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, and Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.

Several Palestinian protesters were injured by gunshot wounds. At the same time, dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Three Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets, and dozens suffered tear gas inhalation during the Israeli suppression of the weekly peaceful anti-settlement march in the village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya.

The weekly protest has gone on for nearly two decades, demanding the opening of the village street, which Israeli forces closed nineteen years ago in order to colonize the village land.

Dozens of Palestinians suffered tear gas inhalation as a result of the Israeli forces suppressing the weekly anti-settlement march in Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, which has been organized since October 2020, to reject the establishment of a settlement outpost in the northeastern area of ​​the village lands.

Three civilians suffered from pepper gas, as Israeli forces and settlers attacked participants in a peaceful agricultural event condemning settlements in the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem. This is another area where Israeli colonizers have been taking over Palestinian land, and locals have organized weekly protests for the past several years.

In addition, Israeli settlers fenced off areas of Yanun land, belonging to the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus, under the protection of the Israeli army.

The Israeli military occupation and its settlers control more than 85% of the lands of Yanun, surrounded by five settlements and outposts, which are expanding at the expense of Palestinian citizens’ lands.

All Israeli settlements are a violation of international law and have been condemned by numerous UN resolutions.

Irina Korolova

contact@ifamericansknew.org

January 27, 2022: Irina Korolova, 60, was one of seven Israelis who were shot and killed, while ten more were wounded, on the street in front of a synagogue in the Nabi Yacoub settlement in the northern part of Jerusalem. The suspected shooter, a 21-year-old Palestinian, was shot and killed by Israeli police at the scene.

Israel has officially identified the Israelis killed in the attack as Asher Natan, 14, Eli Mizrahi, 48, Natali Mizrahi, 45, Ilya Sosansky, 26, Rafael Ben Eliyahu, 56, Shaul Hai, 68, and the Ukrainian national as Irina Korolova, 60.

The attack came just a day after ten Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces – nine in Jenin and one in Jerusalem. Since the beginning of January, 30 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, including several children, while no Israelis were killed until this attack. During the Israeli assault in Jenin Thursday, in addition to killing nine Palestinians, the Israeli military also blocked ambulances from reaching the hospital and fired tear gas into a children’s ward at the hospital.

Friday’s shooting took place on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27th.

The Palestinian man who was shot and killed by Israeli police, the suspected shooter in the attack, was identified as 21-year-old Khairi Alkam. According to Al Jazeera, Alkam’s grandfather and namesake was stabbed to death by an Israeli settler in 1998.

The location of the settlement where the attack took place was the Nabi Yacoub colony, which was constructed on illegally-seized Palestinian land in the neighborhood of Silwan.

This neighborhood has been the target of massive Israeli expansion and Palestinian displacement in recent years, as Israeli authorities try to remove the Palestinian presence and replace the ancient residents of the neighborhood with newly-arrive Zionist colonizers — particularly in the Wadi Hilweh area adjacent to the Al-Aqsa mosque, and in the rest of the Silwan neighborhood.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir toured the scene of the crime, followed by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The officials held an emergency cabinet meeting.

US President Joe Biden called Netanyahu on Friday night, calling the shooting “an attack against the civilized world,” and stressed “the iron-clad US commitment to Israel’s security”.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to visit Israel next week. He said on Friday, “The United States condemns in the strongest terms the horrific terrorist attack. We are in close contact with our Israeli partners and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to Israel’s security.”

According to Israeli Channel 12, “The perpetrator of the attack in the Jewish synagogue got out of a car and carried out the attack with a pistol in Jerusalem.” In addition to the seven killed, ten others were taken to the hospital with injuries ranging from moderate to severe.

Some Israeli media questioned the speed with which the Israeli police arrived on the scene, saying that the Israeli police did not arrive at the scene of the accident until about 20 minutes later. According to those reports, some witnesses said that the police initially believed that the noise came from shots fired in the air from neighborhoods close to occupied Jerusalem.

On Thursday,  Israeli soldiers killed Yousef Yahia Abdul-Karim Mheisin, 22, near Ramallah in the central West Bank, during a procession condemning the Israeli onslaught on Jenin, leading to the killing of nine Palestinians, including one woman and two siblings.

The slain Palestinians have been identified as:

  1. Saeb Mahmoud Ezreiqi, 24, Jenin city.
  2. Ezzeddin Yassin Salahat, 26, Jenin refugee camp.
  3. Abdullah Marwan Al-Ghoul, 18, Jenin refugee camp.
  4. Wasim Amjad Aref Abu Al-Ja’as, 22, Jenin refugee camp.

  8. Mohammad Sami Ghneim, 28, Burqin town.
