Omar Hisham Jabara

June 21, 2023: Omar Hisham Abdullah Jabara, 27, was killed by paramilitary Israeli colonizers who invaded Turmus Ayya town, northeast of the central West Bank city of Ramallah.

The Health Ministry said Omar suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest when the Palestinians tried to defend their town and repel the attack when paramilitary colonizers invaded the town and burnt dozens of homes and cars.

Lafi Adeeb, the Mayor of Turmus Ayya, said more than 400 colonizers invaded the town and opened fire at dozens of homes and residents who intercepted the attack, wounding twelve with live fire.

He added that the colonizers burnt 30 Palestinian homes and more than 60 cars and said the Israeli assailants came from nearby illegal colonies and colonialist outposts on stolen Palestinian lands.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the paramilitary colonizers stopped its ambulances and prevented them from entering the town.

Palestine TV correspondent Osaid Sbeih said that after the massive invasion and assaults in Turmus Ayya, the colonizers headed to nearby Sinjil town, north of Ramallah, and fired dozens of live rounds at the Palestinians and their homes at the entrance of the town and closed many surrounding streets.

 

Israeli sources claimed the army exchanged fire with Palestinian fighters in Turmus Ayya; however, the reports ignored the fact that the Palestinians, unarmed civilians, were defending their homes and property after the paramilitary colonizers invaded their community.

The attack is reminiscent of the assault on Huwwara, Burin, and Arisa Al-Qibliya near Nablus on February 26, when the colonizers carried out more than 300 assaults in which they burnt dozens of homes, cars, and large agricultural lands.

In related news, Israeli soldiers shot and seriously injured a young man in Kafr Malek town, northeast of Ramallah, before he was rushed to Palestine Medical Complex and then to the Istishari Medical Center in Ramallah, where he was admitted to surgery before being moved to the Intensive Care Unit.

Also, at least 200 Israeli colonizers from Yitzhar illegal colony invaded the Orif Palestinian town south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus and hurled flammable materials at a school before the locals intercepted them.

The Palestinians hurled stones at the invading colonizers, wounding eight, while the Israeli assailants also injured several Palestinians, especially to the head and upper body, before Israeli soldiers invaded Orif and fired live rounds at the Palestinians.

On Wednesday night, an Israeli military drone fired a missile at a car in Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, killing three Palestinians, including a teenage boy.

Medical sources said the slain Palestinians were identified as Soheib Adnan Al-Ghoul, 27, Mohammad Bashar Oweis, 28, and Ashraf Morad Sa’adi, 17.

Mohannad Faleh Shahada

June 20, 2023: Mohannad Faleh Shahada, 26, was killed by paramilitary colonizers after he and another Palestinian killed four Israeli colonizers and injured four in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli sources said one of the Palestinians was shot and killed at the shooting scene, and the other was killed two hours later by Israeli soldiers.

The Israelis who were killed in the attack were identified as Elisha Antman, 18, from Eli colony; Harel Masoud, 21, from Yad Binyamin; Nachman Shmuel Mordoff, 17, from Ahiya, and Ofer Feierman, 63, from Eli colony.

Of the wounded, one was listed as seriously wounded, while three were wounded lightly.

The shooters were identified as Mohannad Faleh Shahada, 26, who was killed on site by an Israeli paramilitary colonial settler, and Khaled Mustafa Sabah, 24, who managed to escape from the scene of the shooting but was pursued by Israeli soldiers who killed him and wounded another Palestinian civilian.

According to eyewitnesses, the two Palestinians drove up to the gas station, entered a restaurant attached to the gas station, and shot at the Israelis who were dining there, killing four people and wounding four.

Israeli media reported that the two Palestinian shooters had been imprisoned together at the Israeli prison of Megiddo two and a half years ago.

After the attack,  Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas, praised the shooting, saying the shooting was “a response to Israel’s crimes carried out at the Jenin refugee camp and the aggression against the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The struggle won’t stop until our people are free and independent.”

The Israeli army later invaded Orif town, south of Nablus, before storming the family homes of the two Palestinians and took measurements of the properties to prepare for demolishing them as part of Israel’s collective punishment policies, illegal under International Law and all related human rights treaties, including the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Israeli daily Haaretz said that while this attack could lead to accelerated operations to prepare for a large-scale military offensive in the West Bank, such an offensive would occur due to political leadership pressure.

Haaretz said the offensive, which would be dubbed Guardian of the Walls II, which refers to the original operation in 2021, could be different than what its name suggests but likely a limited offensive that would last for a few days “to calm things on the ground,” and to appease demands from the Israeli right-wing.
