June 05, 2023: Mohammad Haitham Tamimi, 3, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers in the village of Nabi Saleh, near Ramallah.

The invading soldiers critically wounded the child’s father in the same incident.

The invasion took place on the previous Thursday, and the child succumbed to his wounds at the hospital four days later, on Monday.

The child, Mohammad Haitham Tamimi, 3 years of age, was shot in the head, and his father was shot in the shoulder while they were standing in the front yard of their home near an Israeli military roadblock at the entrance of Nabi Saleh.

The attack took place when Israeli soldiers ambushed a Palestinian car at the town entrance and fired many live rounds at a car, which sprayed randomly around the area, including at the home of Mohammad and his father.

The three-year-old child was shot in the head, and the father was shot in the shoulder, causing serious injuries.

The child and his father were not in the car but in their home’s front yard near the military roadblock at the entrance of the town.

The seriously wounded child was rushed to Tal HaShomer Israeli Medical Center, where he was treated for his wounds but remained in critical condition until he succumbed to his injuries.

On Monday night, the child’s corpse was transferred to Palestine Medical Complex In Ramallah ahead of the funeral ceremony and burial procession the following day.

The Israeli forces also wounded other members of the Tamimi family.

On her Facebook Page, Manal Tamimi said that her husband, Bilal Tamimi, was shot with a gas bomb in the arm, causing a fracture in the wrist, and added that he requires surgery for his wounds.

Manal added that Wisam Tamimi, her brother-in-law’s son, was shot with a sponge-tipped bullet in the head, resulting in a skull fracture.

Her brother’s wife, Noura Tamimi, was shot with a gas bomb in the abdomen, and her cousin Haitham Tamimi and his son Mohammad, were shot with live rounds in the chest and the head.

Naji Tamimi, the head of Nabi Saleh Village Council, said the soldiers also closed the iron gate at the village entrance, invading several neighborhoods and firing live rounds at protesters.

May 29, 2023: Ashraf Mohammad Amin Ibrahim, 38, was killed by Israeli soldiers who invaded Jenin city in the northern part of the occupied West Bank and injured eight Palestinians.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers killed Ashraf after shooting him with two expanding bullets in the chest and the abdomen.

The Health Ministry added that one of the bullets exploded in his liver and the second in his chest, especially in the lung, causing fatal wounds.

The Palestinian TV said the slain Palestinian Intelligence officer was also a former political prisoner imprisoned by Israel for ten years in Israeli prisons and was preparing to get married.

The soldiers also shot eight Palestinians with live fire, including one who suffered life-threatening wounds.

The soldiers also broke into and violently searched many homes in several neighborhoods in Jenin and abducted six young Palestinian men.

Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with the soldiers who invaded many areas in Jenin and managed to cause damage to an armored military vehicle.

Ala’ Khalil Qaisiyya

May 26, 2023: Ala’ Khalil Qaisiyya, 26, was killed by an Israeli guard in an illegal colony near Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Israeli reports said a security team member shot the Palestinian, who has reportedly infiltrated a colony and was“heading to a synagogue in Teneh Omarim colony, where holiday prayers were taking place,” and added that “the guard shot him at the entrance of the building.”

According to Ynet News, the Palestinian was shot in “an attempted stabbing attack,” adding that the security guard shot him allegedly when he was “wielding his knife.” No Israelis were injured in the reported incident.

The report only indicated that the Palestinian was “neutralized,” a term various Israeli medical outlets use without providing further details, especially whether the person was killed or just ‘idled.’

Immediately after the incident, the Israeli army instructed the colonizers to remain indoors until further notice and prevented vehicles from entering or leaving the colony.

The Palestinian is the cousin of Sa’ad Mahmoud Qaisiyya, 25, who a paramilitary colonizer killed, on March 1, 2017, in the same colony.

There are 22 illegal Israeli colonies, fifteen outposts, and four’ industrial colonies’ on stolen Palestinian lands in Hebron, where about 21.000 colonizers reside.

The army also has 20 permanent military roadblocks in Hebron, resulting in constant closure and the isolation of many neighborhoods and communities.

Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”

Abdullah Yousef Abu Hamdan

May 22, 2023: Abdullah Yousef Mohammad Abu Hamdan, 24, was killed by Israeli soldiers who also killed two other Palestinians and injured four, after the army invaded the Balata refugee camp, the largest Palestinian refugee camp, near Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, the Health Ministry confirmed the death of the three young Palestinian men, adding that the soldiers also shot four young men, including one in a life-threatening condition.

The Health Ministry identified the three slain young men as Mohammad Bilal Zeitoun, 32, Fathi Jihad Abdul-Salem Rezeq, 30, and Abdullah Yousef Mohammad Abu Hamdan, 24.

The Palestinians were killed and injured when a large military force, in many armored vehicles, invaded the refugee camp at dawn, leading to protests, before the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds, in addition to many rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The soldiers also detonated three Palestinian homes during the invasion, including a home owned by the local Abu Shallal family.

The Palestinian TV said the soldiers did not inform the families, living near the homes, about their intention to detonate the properties.

The explosions caused serious damage not only to the targeted homes but also to the many surrounding properties, especially the ones above the properties in the same building.

Many surrounding homes sustained considerable property damage, especially since the refugee camp is densely populated with narrow alleys and attached properties.

Eyewitnesses said the army also deployed sharpshooters on rooftops of several buildings and prevented Palestinian ambulances from entering the refugee camp.

Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with the soldiers invading the refugee camp and its surrounding areas.

Israeli sources said the army deployed more than 400 soldiers during the invasion, and added that the soldiers also exchanged fire with Palestinian fighters.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency Department at the Nablus branch of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the army stopped its ambulances and refused to allow them to reach wounded Palestinians, forcing the medics to find alternate alleys and streets to reach the invaded area in Balata refugee camp, despite the serious risks to their lives.

Jibril said the medics were stopped while trying to reach a seriously wounded Palestinian who was shot in the chest, especially the lungs, but the soldiers stopped them and added that it was much later that the medics were able to reach him and rush him to hospital, but he succumbed to his wounds.

He added that the Red Crescent contacted the International Red Cross to coordinate with the army to allow the medics to enter the refugee camp, but the Israeli military coordinator denied the request.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers had killed 156 Palestinians since the beginning of this year. Among the slain Palestinians are 26 children, and 36 were killed in the Gaza Strip.

May 15, 2023: Saleh Mohammad Saleh Sabra, 22, was killed by Israeli soldiers who invaded the Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Several Israeli military vehicles invaded the refugee camp, leading to protests, especially after the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes before the army fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency Department of the Nablus office of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said the soldiers killed Saleh after shooting with live rounds in the chest.

Jibril added that the soldiers shot another Palestinian with a live round in the upper body and injured a woman in her home after she suffered shrapnel wounds in the face from a shattered window after several Israeli bullets struck the property.

The Israeli army invaded Nablus city from several directions before surrounding and invading the Askar refugee camp and the Popular Housing Projects in the city, leading to protests.

During the invasion, the soldiers stormed and violently searched the home of Abdul-Fattah Hussein Kharousha, 49, and took measurements of the Kharousha family home in preparation for demolishing it.

Abdul-Fattah was one of six Palestinians shot and killed by Israeli troops during a massive invasion of the northern West Bank Palestinian city of Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp on the city’s outskirts on March 07, 2023.

On May 13, Israeli soldiers killed Saed Jihad Shaker Mesha, 32, and Adnan Wasim Yousef Al-A’raj, 19, after shooting them with live fire in the head, in Nablus.

Ahmad Mohammad Atatra

May 13, 2023: Ahmad Mohammad Taiseer Atatra, 30, was killed by Israeli soldiers at a military roadblock southwest of Jenin, in the northern part of the West Bank, when they claimed he tried to stab him before firing at least 30 rounds at him.

Media sources said Ahmad was riding his bicycle while trying to cross the Reehan military roadblock, known as “Checkpoint 300,” near the illegal Shaked Israeli colony.

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers fired a barrage of live fire at the Palestinian, leaving him bleeding on the ground without first aid after closing the entire area.

Palestinian medics were much later allowed to reach him after it was clear he was dead and took him to a Palestinian hospital in Jenin.

In a brief statement, the Israeli occupation army’s spokesperson only said the man “ran towards Border Police officers while carrying a knife,” adding that the soldiers “neutralized him,” a term loosely used by the army to justify fatally, and in some cases seriously, wounding the Palestinians.

His family said he was returning to his home after working on their agricultural land, isolated behind the illegal Annexation Wall, adding that he was riding his bicycle due to the short distance between the home and the family’s lands.

Earlier the same day, the soldiers killed Saed Jihad Shaker Mesha, 32, and Adnan Wasim Yousef Al-A’raj, 19, after shooting them with live fire in the head in the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The soldiers shot the woman, 50, with four live rounds, causing life-threatening wounds. Three Palestinians were injured by shrapnel from bullets, and 75 suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Palestinian ambulances were not allowed to enter the refugee camp until the soldiers killed the Palestinians and left the area at least an hour later. During the invasion, the medics could only evacuate one wounded Palestinian on foot.

The army also invaded several areas of Nablus city and its suburbs before closing many streets and installing roadblocks.
