May 11, 2023: Ghazi Yousef Shehab (Fahmawi), 66, was killed by Israeli soldiers in Nur Shams refugee camp, in Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers shot and seriously injured Ghazi before the medics rushed him to a hospital in Tulkarem, but he succumbed to his wounds.

Palestine TV said the Palestinian man was shot at dawn when the soldiers invaded the refugee camp and fired many live rounds at random.

It added that the soldiers shot the man in the abdomen before that exited through his back, resulting in serious wounds and organ damage, before he was rushed to Thabet Thabet Hospital in Tulkarem and later moved him to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus. He died just two hours after surgery.

Ghazi is a retired Palestinian security officer and was on her way to his work across the green light when the soldiers shot him.

Earlier the same day, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of Aws Jamal Hamamda Kamil, 30, who was shot and seriously injured a day earlier when the army invaded Qabatia town, south of Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles killed eight Palestinians and injured many others, some seriously, in the continued bombing of the Gaza Strip.

It is worth mentioning that, on May 6,  the soldiers killed two Palestinians, Samer Salah Shafe’ey, 22, after shooting him with live rounds in the neck, chest, and abdomen, and Hamza Jamil Kharyoush, 22, after shooting him in the chest, abdomen, and left leg, in Tulkarem refugee camp.

May 03, 2023: Hashel Mubarak Salman Mubarak, 58, was killed by Israeli missiles in the Shati refugee camp northwest of Gaza City, in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed Hashel’s and said that the man was seriously injured when the Israeli army bombed Gaza.

It added that he succumbed to his serious wounds at a hospital in Gaza City despite all efforts to save his life.

Hashem was seriously injured when the Israeli army fired missiles that struck buildings in the refugee camp.

He was among six Palestinians, injured by Israeli missiles in their homes in Gaza and east of Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Hashem’s death came a few hours after a ceasefire agreement was reached under Egyptian medication.

Thousands of Palestinians participated in his funeral ceremony and procession while chanting against the ongoing Israeli occupation and escalating violations and calling for ongoing resistance until liberation and independence.

The escalation came in the aftermath of the death of political prisoner, Khader Adnan, 45, who passed away 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.

September, 30, 2021: Mohammad Ammar, 41, was killed by Israeli soldiers killed, east of the al-Boreij refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

Palestinian medical sources said the Mohammad was shot with a live round in the head before he was rushed to the Al-Aqsa Hospital in the nearby Deir al-Balah city, where he was officially pronounced dead.

The slain man was shot on Palestinian land close to the perimeter fence of the besieged coastal region.

Local sources said Ammar was hunting birds when the soldiers delivered the fatal shots.

Israeli Ynet news quoted that army claiming that the soldiers reportedly observed, through surveillance cameras, three Palestinians approaching the fence, and added that “one of them was digging in the ground while carrying a suspicious bag.”

It said that the army did not provide further clarification besides stating that the soldiers spotted the man and opened fire at him.

His mother said that Mohammad was a married father of seven children (four boys and three girls), and worked at the local town council, and added that he took a four-day vacation from work to hunt for birds and spend time with the family.

The attack is part of frequent Israeli violations against the Palestinians, especially the fishermen, farmers, shepherds, and workers in the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip, and have led to dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to serious property damage and the confiscation of many boats after abducting the fishermen.

Also Thursday, the soldiers killed a Palestinian woman in Jerusalem, identified as Isra’ Khaled Khzaimiah, 30, in Burqin town, southwest of the northern West Bank city of Jenin, and Ala’ Nasser Zayyoud, 22, from Qabatia, south of Jenin.

March 03, 2018: Mohammad Ata Abu Jame’, 59, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers while working on his land in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that the farmer was shot by the soldiers, and suffered a serious injury, while working on his own land, in Khuza’a area, east of Khan Younis.

He was rushed to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, but died from his serious wounds, later the same day, March 3rd.

His wife said that she was heading to the family’s land to bring food for her husband when she heard the shots, and then she heard the husband screaming in pain and asking her to call for an ambulance.

Both Mohammad’s wife and their son said that there was no reason for the soldiers to shoot Mohammad, because he was just working on his land, and the situation was calm, and added that the man was very healthy, and always loved to work and plant the land.

“Our only problem is that our land is located near the border fence which was installed by Israel,” the son said, “They shot him for nothing — this was the first time that the soldiers open fire at us on our land…”

There were no protests near the border area when the soldiers shot the Palestinian man, and there was no reason for opening fire.

It is worth mentioning that the army frequently invades Palestinian lands located close to the border fence, and constantly opens fire at farmers and workers, an issue that has led to dozens of casualties, including many fatalities.
