April 27, 2023: Ahmad Yacoub Taha, 39, was killed by Israeli soldiers near Hares village, west of Salfit in the central West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed the soldiers killed Ahmad and added that the slain man was an officer with the Palestinian National Security Forces.

Israeli sources claimed the Palestinian was shot after “attempting to stab soldiers and officer at the Gitai Junction before he was neutralized at the scene.”

A video from the scene shows an Israeli officer ordering Taha to step out of his car, and once he got out of the car, he reached for his wallet before many soldiers started firing at him.

The man did not appear to be armed or carrying a knife and was trying to get his ID card to show it to the soldiers.

After killing him, the soldiers closed the entire area to Palestinian traffic and forced the Palestinians to leave.

Taha’s killing is similar to how undercover Israeli soldiers executed Nidal Amin Khazem, 28, at point-blank after he was already shot and seriously injured on March 16, 2023, in Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

It is similar to how the soldiers killed Ahmad Hasan Kahla, 45, on January 15, 2023, underneath the Yabroud Bridge, east of Ramallah in the central West Bank. Khala was a married father of five children and was with his oldest son, Qussai, 20, when he was killed.

On Monday, April 24, a paramilitary Israeli colonizer killed Hatem As’ad Abu Najma, 39, a married father of five from Beit Safafa town, south of occupied Jerusalem, after he reportedly injured seven Israelis in what the army called a ramming attack in occupied Jerusalem.

Earlier same day, April 24, Israeli soldiers invaded the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp in Jericho city in the northeastern West Bank, killed Suleiman Ayesh Hussin Oweid, 20, before taking his corpse away, injured three, and abducted three others, including two siblings.

Hatem As’ad Abu Najma

April 24, 2023: Hatem As’ad Abu Najma, 39, was killed by an armed Israeli man in Jerusalem after he reportedly injured seven Israelis in what the army called a ramming attack.

Media sources said the colonizer fatally shot Hatem, a married father of five children from Beit Safafa town, south of occupied Jerusalem.

Israeli sources said the Palestinian “rammed several Israelis with his car in Davidka Square,” nearly one block away from “Mahaneh Yehuda” market, wounding seven, including a man, about 80 years old, who suffered serious wounds and a woman in her 30s who suffered moderate-but-stable injuries.

The seriously wounded man is reported to be sedated and hooked to a respiratory machine at the Intensive Care Unit at the Sha’are Zedek Medical Center.

The Jerusalem Post quoted the Israeli police stating that the Palestinian “sped up at an intersection deliberately ramming pedestrians” and added that he then “slowed down and stopped before an armed civilian shot and killed him.”

A video from the scene shows the colonizer shooting the Palestinian man through the closed side window of his car while he posed no threat or even attempted to leave it.

The Israeli military and internal security said Hatem was not known to have any affiliation with Palestinian political faction or armed groups and added that he had a history of mental illness.

After the incident, which potentially could have been a traffic accident, several Israeli teenagers gathered in the area, chanting “We want vengeance” while raising Israeli flags and “Ben-Gvir go home,” referring to the fanatic right-wing Israeli National Security Minister, Itama Ben-Gvir.

Suleiman Ayesh Oweid

It is worth mentioning that Ben-Gvir phoned the man who killed the Palestinians, and “expressed his gratitude and the gratitude of the state of Israel for his actions that prevented a much larger incident.”

Earlier Monday, Israeli soldiers invaded the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp in Jericho city in the northeastern West Bank, killed Suleiman Ayesh Hussein Oweid, 20, before taking his corpse away, injured three, and abducted three others, including two siblings.

April 24, 2023: Suleiman Ayesh Hussin Oweid, 20, was killed by Israeli soldiers who invaded the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp in Jericho city in the northeastern West Bank.

Medical sources said the soldiers killed Suleiman, injured three other young men, and abduct three, including two siblings.

Jihad Abu Al-Asal, the governor of Jericho and the Northern Plains, said the soldiers fatally shot Suleiman Ayesh Hussin Oweid, 20, and took his corpse away.

Abu Al-Asal added that Civil Affairs Committee confirmed the young man’s death and added that the soldiers also injured three Palestinians, including two with live fire, and abducted one of them, Ali Othman Habash.

One of the wounded Palestinians, Suleiman Khalaf Awajna, suffered moderate wounds after the soldiers rammed him with their jeep, before Palestinian medics rushed him to a hospital in Jericho.

The Israeli army said it invaded the refugee camp to attest “wanted Palestinians,” adding that the soldiers saw two Palestinians trying to escape and shot them.

Also, the soldiers invaded many parts of the occupied West Bank, stormed and ransacked dozens of homes, and abducted at least sixteen Palestinians.

The two sisters were the daughters of British-Israeli Rabbi Leo Dee, and they were in a car traveling with their mother to a hiking spot in the Jordan Valley when the car was shot at by unknown assailants and ran off the road, killing both of the daughters.

The BBC said Maia was 20 years old and volunteering for national service in a high school, while younger sister Rina was 15.

The reports indicated that emergency teams found three Israeli women with signs of gunshot wounds in the northern part of the Jordan Valley of the West Bank.

The two women and their mother, who suffered serious wounds, were airlifted by a military helicopter to the hospital.

The reports added that the three women were in a car that came under gunfire and said that the army initiated a massive search campaign to locate the persons behind the shooting.

The two sisters succumbed to their critical wounds and were officially declared dead at the scene, and their mother, in her forties, is in critical condition.

According to the army, the shooting occurred not far from the Al-Hamra area, and the military initiated a massive manhunt, including military helicopters, to locate the shooters.

Israeli Police Chief, Kobi Shabtai, called on all Israelis, who are licensed to carry firearms and skilled in using them, to do so.

The incident occurred amidst increasing Israeli violations and invasions of Al-Aqsa Mosque, in occupied Jerusalem, resulting in dozens of abductions and injuries.
