June 21, 2023: Sadeel Ghassan Turkman, 15, died from serious wounds she suffered after Israeli soldiers shot her during the military offensive in Jenin Monday, in the northern West Bank, in which the soldiers killed five Palestinians and injured more than 100, many seriously.

Medical sources at the Jenin governmental hospital said the soldiers shot the child with a live round to the head, inflicting serious wounds.

The sources added that the child was admitted to urgent surgery before being placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She remained in critical condition until she succumbed to her wounds.

Her death brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli army fire in Jenin to seven, including two children, in just two days.

On Tuesday evening, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of Nasser Saleh Mohammad Sinan, 55, whom Israeli soldiers shot in the head a month earlier in Jenin.

On Tuesday dawn, the Health Ministry confirmed the death of Amjad Aref Al-Ja’as, 48, who was shot and seriously injured by Israeli army fire Monday during the massive Israeli invasion of Jenin, during which the soldiers killed five Palestinians and injured more than 100, some seriously.

On Monday evening, Israeli soldiers killed Zakariya Mohammad Zakariya Za’oul, 20, after shooting him with a live round in the head and injured two after the army invaded Husan village, west of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers have killed 174 Palestinians, including 30 children, since the beginning of this year.

May 09, 2023: Eman Ala’ Ata Adas, 14, was one of 13 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip targeting several areas in the besieged coastal region.

The airstrikes led to at least thirteen deaths, including women and family members, and at least twenty injuries.

Among the dead was Dr. Jamal Khaswan, the Chairperson of the Administrative Board of Al-WAFA Hospital.

The slain Palestinians have been identified as:

  1. Tareq Ibarhim Ezzeddin, 49.
  2. Ali Tareq Ibrahim Ezzeddin, 9.
  3. Mayar Tareq Ibarhim Ezzeddin, 11.
  4. Khalil Salah Al-Bahtini, 45.

  11. Eman Ala’ Ata Adas, 14.
  12. Jihad Abdul-Hafeth Ghannam, 62.
  13. Wafa’s Shadid Ghannam (Jihad’s wife), 50.

Israel claimed that Al-Bahtini directed the firing of homemade shells from Gaza over the past month.

Jihad Abdul-Hafeth Ghannam is a leader of the Military Council of the Islamic Jihad, and Ezzeddin, from Arraba town near Jenin in the northern West Bank, is a senior leader of the movement.

The Al-Quds Brigades issued a statement mourning Ghannam, the secretary of the group’s ‘Military Council’, Khalil Al-Bahtini, a member of the ‘Military Council’ in the Northern District, and Tareq Ibrahim Ezzeddin, one of the senior armed leaders of the group in the West Bank, and vowed retaliation.

According to initial reports, the strikes targeted areas in Gaza City, and Khan Younis in the southern part of the coastal region, leading to extensive property damage, nine deaths, and many injuries.

The reports also said the strikes targeted Islamic Jihad leaders and members of the group’s armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades.

The Quds News Network said the Palestinians were killed when the Israeli army fired missiles at the homes and apartments of several leaders and senior officials of the Islamic Jihad movement.

Following the assassinations, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held an urgent meeting to discuss certain precautionary measures for Israelis living in settlements near the Gaza Strip in anticipation of retaliation from the Islamic Jihad and possibly other armed resistance groups.

The Israeli Coordinator of the Government Activities in the occupied territories declared a closure of the Erez (Beit Hanoun) and Kerem Shalom (Karem Abu Salem) crossings between the Gaza coastal region and Israel immediately after the army started bombing Gaza.

The Israeli Home Front Command also advised the Israeli living near the Gaza Strip to stay near shelters and banned all forms of gatherings in open places for more than ten people, in addition to banning gatherings in closed buildings for more than 100, the Israeli Jerusalem Post said.

The Israeli army said the strikes on Gaza came almost a week after dozens of shells were reportedly fired from the Gaza Strip, following the death of Islamic Jihad member Khader Adnan, 45, who died on May 2, at an Israeli prison after 87 days of hunger strike demanding his freedom as he was held under Administrative Detention orders without charges or trial.

On May 3, a Palestinian man, Hashel Mubarak Salman Mubarak, 58, was killed by Israeli missiles in the Shati refugee camp northwest of Gaza City.

contact@ifamericansknew.org

May 04, 2023: Iman Ziad Ahmed Odeh, 26, was killed by Israeli soldiers near Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, after the army claimed she attacked soldiers, mildly wounding one.

Media sources said the soldiers shot Iman with a live round in the chest near Einabus junction in the center of Huwwara town, south of Nablus.

After shooting the young woman, the army closed the area and refused to allow Palestinian medics to approach her.

Later on, Palestinian Red Crescent medics (PRCS) were able to reach Iman and perform the urgently needed medical attention before rushing her to Rafidia hospital in Nablus where she was officially pronounced dead.

The Israeli army claimed the woman attacked a soldier with a knife, but the soldier pushed her away and shot her, and added that another security officer also opened fire at the woman.

According to the military, the wounded soldier suffered a mild injury and was moved to an Israeli hospital.

Her death brings the number of slain Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers since the beginning of this year to 107, including 20 children and two women.

Earlier in the morning, Israeli soldiers killed three young Palestinian men and injured at least four after the undercover force infiltrated the Old City of Nablus, and surrounded a home before dozens of military vehicles invaded the area.

In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain Palestinians as Moath Masri, 35, Hasan Qatanani, 35, and Ibrahim Jabr, 45.

January 26, 2023: Majeda Obeid, 61, was killed in Jenin refugee camp by Israeli forces during a massive invasion of the city and refugee camp.

Saeb was one of nine Palestinians, including siblings and one woman, killed during a massive offensive on Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.

Dozens of armored Israeli military vehicles carried out the invasion before the soldiers stormed several buildings and occupied their rooftops to use as sniper posts and monitoring towers while dozens of undercover soldiers infiltrated the Jenin refugee cam.

During the invasion, the army severed electricity and communications networks while dozens of soldiers surrounded and isolated entire areas.

Hundreds of Palestinians protested the massive invasions and ongoing onslaught on Jenin and its refugee camp before the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades,

Various armed resistance groups, including the Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, Al-Quds Brigades of the Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Brigades of Fateh, said their fighters exchanged fire with the invading Israeli soldiers while several Palestinians hurled explosive charges at the army.

Palestinian fighters of the Al-Quds Brigades said they managed to identify a refrigeration that was altered to carry undercover forces and fired a barrage of live rounds and explosive charges at it.

The army also used Energa anti-tank bombs against a Palestinian home in the Jenin refugee camp.

The soldiers exchanged fire with armed resistance fighters in the property, killing several Palestinians and severely mutilating their bodies.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers killed nine Palestinians, including a woman and two siblings, adding that the soldiers also injured at least twenty, including four who suffered life-threatening wounds.

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers shot the woman, Majeda Obeid, 61, before ramming her with their jeeps and driving over her body.

The Israeli armored military vehicles also deliberately smashed and destroyed many parked cars and demolished structures, shops, and other facilities.

The Health Ministry added that medics from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) were informed of more injuries but could not reach certain areas of Jenin and its refugee camp due to expensive Israeli military deployment and ongoing offensive.

Dozens of soldiers also surrounded the Jenin governmental hospital and fired many high-velocity gas bombs at it, some striking the children’s ward and the women’s ward, causing dozens of injuries, including many children.

The army also stormed and ransacked dozens of homes, buildings, and offices, causing serious damage to walls, furniture, and equipment, including computers and office supplies.

Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Mai Al-Kaila, called for an urgent meeting with the International Red Cross and World Health Organization, urging them to intervene and end the escalating Israeli crimes.

Dr. Al-Kaila also called on the International Community and all legal and human rights groups to end their silence and act on obliging Israel to respect and implement International Law and all related United Nations and Security Council resolutions.

The slain Palestinians have been identified as:
