October 25, 2022: Hamdi Sbeih Ramzi Qayyim, 30, was killed by an Israeli military drone strike in Nablus during an invasion by the Israeli military on Tuesday before dawn.

During the invasion, Israeli soldiers killed five Palestinians and injured twenty-one, including four who suffered life-threatening wounds, during an invasion of the center of Nablus city, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

In an official statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah identified the slain Palestinians in Nablus as:

  5. Mashal Zahi Ahmad Baghdadi, 27.

The Health Ministry confirmed the army shot twenty-four Palestinians, adding that most of the wounded Palestinians were shot in the upper body; four of them suffered serious injuries.

Palestine TV said the army used armed drones to fire missiles into a home in Nablus where Palestinian fighters were hiding and exchanging fire with the soldiers when Wadea’ was killed.

Six Palestinians managed to escape unharmed.

The Israeli missiles also caused damage to many surrounding homes and several mild injuries among the families.

Palestine TV added that the missiles fired by the Israeli army drones also produced heavy chemical smells.

The Israeli army invaded many neighborhoods, surrounded many Palestinians in the Old City of Nablus, and exchanged fire with resistance fighters before firing shells at them.

One of the slain Palestinians, Hamdi Qayyim, was killed after the army fired a missile at his car, severely mutilating his body.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed the death of four Palestinians by Israeli army fire and added that nineteen were injured, one moderately and four seriously.

At least fourteen of the wounded Palestinians were rushed to Rafidia hospital in Nablus.

Local sources said the soldiers invaded and ransacked many homes and occupied rooftops of tall buildings to use as firing posts, especially for the army sharpshooters.

The soldiers also fired many live rounds at Palestinian police and national security officers, wounding four.

In addition, Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with Israeli soldiers in the Ras Al-Ein area in Nablus while the soldiers surrounded a home in the Northern Mountain area.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers stopped its ambulances and prevented the medics from reaching wounded Palestinians in the Al-Qaryoun area and around the Old City.

The invading Israeli soldiers also used an armed drone to fire a missile at a building and exchanged fire with many Palestinian resistance fighters.

Furthermore, the army surrounded and isolated the Northern Mountain area and the Old City of Nablus.

The Israeli army withdrew from Nablus in the early morning hours of Thursday.

Tamer Zeid al-Kilani

contact@ifamericansknew.org

October 23, 2022: Tamer Zeid al-Kilani, 33, was killed by an explosive device planted on a motorcycle at 1:30 am when he was walking in the old city of Nablus. He was one of the leaders of the recently formed ‘Lion’s Den’ resistance organization in Nablus.

According to local sources, Tamer Zeid al-Kilani, 33, a senior member of the Lion’s Den resistance group, was walking past a motorcycle that had been loaded with explosives when the bicycle exploded, killing him.

Tamer, from the Fatayer Mountain neighborhood in Nablus city, was a married father of two children: a baby boy only two years of age and an infant girl of five months.

Palestinian sources said the bicycle with explosives was planted by an Israeli undercover force, and that the Israeli army was behind the operation to target and assassinate al-Kilani.

Al-Kilani was seen on a surveillance video around 1:30 am near the area where the motorcycle was planted.

Bakr Abdul-Haq, a Nablus correspondent with Quds News Network, said an explosive charge was placed in a motorcycle in the Al-Yasmina neighborhood in the center of the Old City of Nablus, adding that the explosion took place just approximately at 2 am, just as Tamer walked by it.

He added that the explosion severely mutilated Tamer’s body, including severing his limbs and causing extensive internal organ damage, resulting in his death.

Tamer was a married father of several children and was also a former political prisoner who was repeatedly abducted and imprisoned by Israel.

Bakr said the explosive was placed in the motorcycle by a collaborator with the illegal Israeli occupation, adding that this person was pretending to be a delivery man before placing the explosive charge and fleeing the area.

Tamer was one of the prominent leaders and founders of the Lion’s Den, had very close ties with resistance fighters and groups regardless of their political affiliation, and believed in unifying the resistance against the illegal Israeli occupation.

The Lion’s Den issued a statement mourning the slain Palestinian, the fifth of its leaders to be killed by the army in recent months, and vowed to retaliate and continue its resistance to this illegal Israeli occupation, regardless of its offensives and assassinations.

The Lions Den announced that there would be an immediate and severe response to the assassination of one of its senior leaders.

The group said that al-Kilani’s funeral would be held on Sunday afternoon in Nablus. He was 33 years old, and had helped establish the resistance group after having lost friends to the Israeli military occupation, and having spent 8 years in Israeli prisons without any formal charges being made against him. He had been suspected of being a member of the armed wing of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The PFLP issued a statement condemning his death, which they said was a targeted assassination due to his affiliation with the Palestinian resistance. In their statement, the PFLP said that “the assassination operation will not succeed in stopping the revolutionary tide that our fellow hero helped launch together with his brothers and committed comrades.”

The statement continued, “The answer will be through further escalation of the resistance and confrontation with the occupation on all fronts and axes, and hitting all agents, traitors and infiltrators with an iron fist.”

The city of Nablus has been under severe martial law, with Israeli forces infiltrating the city and its surrounding refugee camps and attacking Palestinians on a daily basis, since August when the new resistance group was formed.

Israeli forces previously killed two other members of the Lion’s Den resistance group in targeted assassinations: Ala’ Nasser Ahmad Zaghal, 21, on October 6th and Sa’ed Adnan al-Koni, 26, on September 25th.

Rabi RabiOctober 22, 2022: Rabi Arafa Rabi, 32, a Palestinian worker from Qalqilia, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers near a military roadblock of a section of the illegal Annexation Wall southeast of Qalqilia, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said the soldiers shot the workers near a military roadblock, known as 109, close to Nabi Elias village, when the army fired many live rounds at Palestinian workers trying to cross.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers shot the worker, Rabi Arafa Rabi, 32, with a live round in the head. Palestinian medics rushed him to Darwish Nazzal governmental hospital in Qalqilia, then to Rafidia hospital in Nablus, where he succumbed to his serious wounds.

The slain man’s father, from Qalqilia, said the soldiers executed his son in cold blood, adding that Rabi was just a construction worker trying to earn a living and was engaged to be married this coming Friday.

Palestine TV said Israeli colonizers closed several streets in the area and attacked dozens of Palestinian and their cars, before the soldiers invaded it and started firing live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades.

It is worth mentioning that the army frequently attacks, chases, injures, and abducts Palestinian workers near the gates of the illegal Annexation Wall near Qalqilia, Jenin, and other parts of the West Bank.

Palestinian workers from these areas had for decades been able to work in Israel, but since 2003, Israeli forces have constructed a massive Wall and prevented the workforce from reaching their jobs.

On October 19, the soldiers killed Odai Kamal Tamimi, 22, near Ma’ale Adumim illegal colony, east of the occupied capital Jerusalem in the West Bank, after he opened fire at security guards, mildly wounded one.

The Israeli army has been looking for Odai after holding him responsible for the death of an Israeli soldier, Noa Lazar, 18, and the serious injury of a security guard at a military roadblock near Shu’fat.

A day before the soldier’s death, the army killed Ahmad Mohammad Hussein Daraghma, 24, and Mahmoud Moayyad Sous, 18, in Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Their deaths also came just a day after the Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian teens, Adel Ibrahim Adel Daoud, 14, and Mahdi Mohammad Ladadwa, 17, and injured dozens of Palestinians near Qalqilia and Ramallah in the northern and central parts of the occupied West Bank.

On October 11, an Israeli soldier, Ido Baruch, 20, succumbed to serious wounds he suffered in a shooting targeting a large group of Israeli colonizers, guarded by dozens of soldiers, marching near Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed 174 Palestinians since the beginning of this year, 2022, 123 of them in the West Bank and 51 in the Gaza Strip, and added that among the slain Palestinians are 41 children.

The Israeli army said the Palestinian shot a security guard, 24, mildly wounding him in his hand, and added that another security guard at the scene fired at the Palestinian and killed him.

Video footage shows the Palestinian continuing to exchange fire with the officers even after he was shot multiple times.

After the shooting, the army installed many roadblocks in the area and initiated massive searches, fearing that another Palestinian might be involved in the shooting, although the assumption was not verified.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched in the Shu’fat refugee camp northeast of Jerusalem and headed to Odai’s home, condemning his death and chanting against the ongoing illegal Israeli occupation and escalating violations, and calling for continued resistance until liberation and independence.

The Israeli army has been looking for the Palestinian since October 9, after holding him responsible for the shooting of an Israeli soldier, Noa Lazar, 18, who succumbed to her wounds, and the serious injury of a security guard at a military roadblock near Shu’fat.

The army has since been constantly invading his family’s home and the homes of his relatives and ransacking them, causing serious damage, in addition to interrogating and detaining many of them.

Immediately after the shooting, the army imposed a tight siege on the Shu’fat refugee camp, Anata town, and surrounding areas, and initiated extensive and violent searches of homes and buildings, abducted dozens of Palestinians.

Following Odai’s death, thousands of Palestinians held massive processions in Shu’fat refugee camp northeast of Jerusalem, Qalandia, north of Jerusalem, the northern entrance of Bethlehem city, Nabi Saleh village, northwest of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, Ni’lin village, northwest of the city, and the northern entrance of the nearby Al-Biereh city, in addition to many areas in Jenin and Nablus in the northern part of the occupied territory.

The soldiers fired live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the Palestinians and surrounding buildings.

The soldiers also closed many roadblocks on main roads in the West Bank, including the Qalandia terminal, north of Jerusalem, and the Al-Jalama roadblock, northeast of Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

Palestinian national and Islamic factions declared a comprehensive general strike in the occupied West Bank Thursday to mourn the slain young man and called for raising black flags on homes and buildings and for massive processions across the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, to protest the seriously escalating Israeli violations.

It is worth mentioning that, a day before the soldier’s death, the army killed Ahmad Mohammad Hussein Daraghma, 24, and Mahmoud Moayyad Sous, 18, in Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Their deaths also came just a day after the Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian teens, Adel Ibrahim Adel Daoud, 14, and Mahdi Mohammad Ladadwa, 17, and injured dozens of Palestinians near Qalqilia and Ramallah in the northern and central parts of the occupied West Bank.
