Mahdi Mohammad Ladadwa

October 07, 2022: Mahdi Mohammad Ladadwa, 17, was killed by Israeli soldiers in the Al-Mazra’a al-Gharbiyya village northwest of the central West Bank city of Ramallah.

Media sources said the Israeli soldiers attacked and fired live rounds at many Palestinians who intercepted an attack by illegal Israeli colonizers against a house owned by Mohammad Saleh Shreiteh, in the village.

The soldiers invaded the village and started firing live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the Palestinians who intercepted the attack.

Medical sources said the soldiers killed Mahdi with live fire and shot at least two Palestinians; one was shot in the abdomen and one in the back.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers prevented its medics from reaching Mahdi, but they eventually managed to get to him, despite being attacked by the soldiers, before he succumbed to his serious wounds.

The soldiers fired live rounds and attacked several Palestinians, including medics, while trying to render the needed to a wounded young man.

The PRCS said its medics treated nine Palestinians who were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets, eight whom the soldiers beat, and thirty-three who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

On the same day, the soldiers killed another child, Adel Ibrahim Adel Daoud, 14, in the Al-Birin area, south of Qalqilia, in the northern West Bank.

The Health Ministry said the soldiers shot Adel with a live round in the head.

Palestine TV said dozens of soldiers were deployed in the area before firing live rounds at the Palestinians and added that a sharpshooter shot the child.

It is worth mentioning that Adel’s uncle, Mohammad Daoud, from Qalqilia, was abducted by the Israeli army 35 years earlier, and was sentenced to live in prison.

Several Palestinian factions issued statements denouncing the killing of the two Palestinian children and the serious Israeli military escalation against the Palestinian people, their homes, lands, and their holy sites.

They called for ongoing resistance against the Israeli occupation and its illegal colonies until liberation and independence.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs And Expatriates also issued a statement condemning the execution of the two Palestinian children and affirmed it would submit the case to the International Criminal Court.

It said the Israeli government is determined to escalate its crimes against the Palestinian people and is dragging the region into more tension and conflicts and held it responsible for its crimes and their consequences on the ground.

Ala’ Nasser Ahmad Zaghal

October 05, 2022: Ala’ Nasser Ahmad Zaghal, 21, was killed by Israeli soldiers who invaded Deir Al-Hatab, east of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian Medical sources have confirmed that the soldiers killed the young man after shooting him with a live round in the head.

The sources added that the soldiers also shot with live ammunition four other Palestinians, including two journalists, and caused dozens to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Palestine TV has confirmed that the soldiers shot its journalists, Mahmoud Fawzi and Lu’ay Samhan, with live fire in their arms.

Palestine TV and eyewitnesses said the slain Palestinian was unarmed when the soldiers targeted him with live fire near the town’s main entrance, far away from where the soldiers were invading the town and attacking protesters.

The Israeli army claimed it invaded Deir Al-Hatab to arrest a Palestinian fighter, Salam Imran, who is allegedly responsible for shooting incidents targeting Israeli soldiers and colonizers near Nablus.

Salam is believed to be a member of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, and a member of the “Lion’s Den,” a united group of resistance fighters from various factions.

In a statement, the Israeli army said it invaded Deir Al-Hatab to arrest Imran for his alleged involvement in a shooting targeting an Israeli colonizer driving a taxi near Nablus.

The army claimed its soldiers exchanged fire with Palestinian resistance fighters and added that two officers were reportedly slightly injured.

The group is believed to be behind dozens of shooting incidents targeting Israeli soldiers, especially during the army’s operations in Jenin and Nablus, in the northern part of the West Bank.

Hundreds of Palestinians participated in Ala’s funeral ceremony and procession and carried his corpse from the Rafidia hospital in Nablus to his home in Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus, before he was buried at the refugee camp’s cemetery.

More than 165 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire this year, including 51 in the Gaza Strip and at least 110 in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The death toll in the West Bank is the highest on record in a single year since 2015. In addition, at least two Israeli soldiers have been killed by Palestinian fire since May.

The army took the corpses of the two slain Palestinians, and the wounded, to an unknown destination.

National factions and social groups declared a comprehensive strike in Ramallah to mourn the slain Palestinians, while hundreds of Palestinians held protests before the soldiers attacked them with live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades.

The Israeli army frequently invaded schools’ areas in several parts of the occupied West Bank, especially when the children head to their schools or when they walk back home.

Since Palestinian villages and towns are generally small, it is normal for schoolchildren to walk to school and walk back home.

The Health Ministry said Palestinian medics rushed Rayyan to the Emergency Department of Beit Jala governmental hospital, but he had no heartbeats, and all efforts to save his life failed.

After the child’s death, many soldiers invaded his family’s home and ransacked it before interrogating his parents and other Palestinians.
