December 08, 2022: Tareq Fawzi Ad-Damaj, 29, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers during a pre-dawn invasion in which Israeli soldiers killed three young men and injured several Palestinians when the army invaded Jenin city and Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.

A few days after the soldiers killed him, his pregnant wife gave birth to a baby boy the family named after him.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinians as Sidqi Siddeeq Zakarna, 29, from Jenin city, Tareq Fawzi Ad-Damaj, 29, from Jenin refugee camp, and Ata Yassin Shalabi, 46, from Qabatia town, south of Jenin.

According to local sources, after the soldiers shot Sidqi, they then came to his body on the ground and shot him again. The Israeli soldiers then ran him over with a military vehicle. Palestine TV said the soldiers shot Sidqi with several live rounds before one of the military jeeps sped toward and ran over him.

One of Ata’s relatives said the young man worked at an Israeli factory in a colony near Al-Jalama and was heading to his work when he saw a car that had the bodies of Sidqi and Tareq and rushed to try to help them, but just as he reached the car, the soldiers shot him with a live round in the head, three in the chest and three in the back.

Palestine TV reported that the soldiers fired several live rounds at a Palestinian ambulance transporting a wounded Palestinian and that the driver was almost killed when the soldiers fired live rounds at its windshield.

The soldiers also shot with live fire two other Palestinians, inflicting moderate-to-severe wounds, medical sources confirmed.

The invasion was carried out by dozens of armored military vehicles, including bulldozers before the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes and occupied rooftops to use as sniper posts and monitoring towers.

The invasion led to massive protests in Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp before the soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

A Palestinian cab driver said he saw several Israeli military vehicles at a distance and noticed the undercover Israeli soldiers at an intersection nearby before he saw the soldiers shoot one of the Palestinians not far from his car.

He added that he saw another Palestinian killed by the soldiers not far from where the soldiers fatally shot the first young man.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched in front of Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin, carrying the corpses of the three slain Palestinians and chanting for ongoing resistance until liberation and independence.

Palestinian national and Islamic factions in Jenin announced a general strike and called on the Palestinians to participate in the funeral procession of the slain men.

According to the Health Ministry, Israeli soldiers have killed 216 Palestinians, 164 of them in the West Bank and 52 in the Gaza Strip, since the beginning of this year.

December 7, 2022January 10, 2023 contact@ifamericansknew.org

December 07, 2022: Mojahed Mahmoud Hamed, 32, was killed by Israeli soldiers in Deir Dibwan town, east of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed it that the soldiers killed Mojahed after shooting him with live fire.

It added that the soldiers chased the young man, opened fire at him, and took him to an unknown destination before the Israeli side later informed the General Authority of Civil Affairs that Mohammad had died from his wounds.

The Health Ministry stated that the army initially refused to allow the transfer of the corpse of the slain young man to the Palestinians, but later all handed his body to a Palestinian ambulance before he was moved to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.

The Israeli occupation army claimed the soldiers “neutralized a suspect who opened fire at their military post from a speeding car.”

The army and several Israeli media outlets frequently used the term “neutralized”, to refrain from stating the soldiers or colonizers killed a Palestinian, and as a form of justification for killing the Palestinians.

The army alleged that the soldiers “pursued the car and fired at the suspect who was driving while firing at the soldiers” and that the army initiated a search campaign “looking for more suspects” and added that no soldiers were injured in the incident.

The soldiers also invaded Kafr Ein village, northwest of Ramallah, leading to protests, before shooting a young man with several live rounds in the chest, pelvis, and thigh; his wounds have been described as moderate-to-severe.

On December 5^th, the soldiers killed Omar Yousef Manna’ Fararja, 22, shot six others, and abducted three, including his brother, in the Deheishe refugee camp, south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

On December 2^nd, the soldiers killed Ammar Hamdi Mifleh, 22, in Huwwara town, south of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

On December 1^st, the soldiers killed two Palestinians, Na’im Jamal Zubeidi, 27, and Mohammad Ayman Sa’adi, 26, in Jenin, in the northern part of the West Bank.

December 05, 2022: Omar Yousef Manna’ Fararja, 22, was killed by Israeli soldiers who also shot six others and abducted three, including his brother, in the Deheishe refugee camp, south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian TV said the soldiers surrounded the Deheishe refugee camp and occupied the rooftops of tall buildings overlooking it before undercover officers infiltrated it using a car carrying Palestinian license plates.

It added that the Palestinians became aware of the undercover officers before many armored military vehicles invaded the refugee camp, leading to protests.

The soldiers fired dozens of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed Omar after shooting him with live rounds in the chest.

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers also shot six Palestinians with live fire before Palestinian medics rushed them to Bethlehem hospitals.

The soldiers also stormed and ransacked many homes and abducted three Palestinians, Omar’s brother, Yazan Fararja, 24, in addition to Odai Essam Abu Nassar, 24, and his brother Mu’ath, 27.

On Monday afternoon, thousands of Palestinians held a funeral procession that started in Deheishe refugee camp and headed towards the Shuhada Graveyard in the nearby Artas village, south of Bethlehem.

It is worth mentioning that Omar was a political prisoner, imprisoned by Israel several times, including when he was held under the arbitrary Administrative Detention orders without charges or trial.

Ammar Hamdi Mifleh

December 2, 2022December 5, 2022 contact@ifamericansknew.org

December 02, 2022: Ammar Hamdi Mifleh, 22, was executed by an Israeli soldier who shot him while he was lying on the ground. After shooting Ammar on the ground once, the soldier then fired again a total of four times. Ammar was unarmed, and was lying on the ground when he was shot. The assassination took place in Huwwara town, south of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the slain young man was identified as Ammar Hamdi Mifleh, 22, from Osarin village, south of Nablus.

The Health Ministry said the soldiers prevented a Palestinian ambulance and medics from approaching the wounded young man, who bled out while lying on the street, and succumbed to his wounds before the army took his corpse to an unknown destination.

A video documenting the Israeli attack shows the soldier wrapping his arm around the young man’s neck and trying to drag him away before two Palestinians tried to intervene and de-escalate the situation.

The young man, who managed to get free from the soldier’s neck hold, wrestled with him for brief seconds before the soldier started removing his pistol out of its holster. The soldier’s rifle fell from his shoulder in the process, and then he pushed the Palestinian, dropping him to the ground, before firing four rounds at him.

The soldier then approached the Palestinian again and before using his pistol to fire another round in a clear indication he executed the young man although he posed no threat, before picking up his rifle.

The soldier’s life was clearly not in danger, especially since the young man was already on the ground, and he could have subdued him at gunpoint to allow other soldiers to arrest him.

Eyewitnesses said the scuffle was fast and brief and that when the Palestinians seemed to have grabbed the muzzle area of the rifle, he was trying to ensure it wasn’t pointed at him.

The Israeli army claimed a Palestinian “stabbed a police officer in Huwwara” before he was shot by the soldiers, adding that the officer suffered mild wounds.

The allegation cannot be substantiated, while eyewitnesses said the fatal shooting of the young man had nothing to do with the alleged stabbing,

According to the army, “the Palestinian attempted to snatch the weapon from the soldier before his rifle fell”. The video evidence contradicts that claim. But even that scenario does not justify firing four live rounds at the Palestinian who was already on the ground and was unarmed.

The young man’s execution led to massive protests in Huwwara before the soldiers shot a young man with a rubber-coated steel bullet and caused dozens to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates denounced the execution of the young man and described it as “a cold-blooded murder committed by a racist Israeli occupation soldier encouraged by the extremist political and military leadership in Israel.”

It added that Israel’s policies allowing soldiers to use live fire against unarmed Palestinians are all part of the political incitement, hatred, and racism of the Israeli political and military leaderships and the illegal paramilitary colonizers who became a second army occupying Palestine.

The Ministry called on the International Criminal Court and the International Community to end their deadly silence, prosecute the war criminals, and end this illegal, criminal colonialist occupation of Palestine and its seriously escalating crimes.

“Just before the soldiers killed my son, approximately at two at dawn, undercover forces infiltrated the refugee camp, and many young men noticed them and started throwing stones at them,” Jamal stated, “The soldiers shot Mohammad Sa’adi, and when Na’im tried to reach him to try to move him to an ambulance, the soldiers shot him with seven live rounds and killed him.”

“They shot him in the head, in the chest, and several other parts of his body,” the father added, “I was sleeping, and in the morning, I was told he was injured, but when I went to the hospital I found out that he was dead. My son worked at the Industrial Zone all day, and I couldn’t see him yesterday when he returned home and today… I lost him.”

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed Na’im Jamal Zubeidi, 27, and Mohammad Ayman Sa’adi, 26, after shooting them with live fire.

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers also injured a third Palestinian who suffered bullet fragments wounds to his face.

A large military force invaded the Al-Hadaf area in Jenin city, and the Jenin refugee camp, and the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes and buildings and occupied rooftops to use as sniper posts and monitoring towers.

Media sources said undercover soldiers also infiltrated the Jenin refugee camp and rammed a motorcycle with their vehicle before abducting two young men, Khaled Ar’arawi and Ahmad as-Sous.

The sources added that the soldiers surrounded two homes in the Al-Hadaf area in Jenin before storming the properties and abducting Wisam Fayed and Omar Nasser Taleb.
