May 09, 2023: Yousef Jamal Saber Khaswan, 20, was 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.
  5. Hajar Khalil Salah Al-Bahtini, 5.
  6. Laila Majdi Mustafa Al-Bahtini, 44.

  10. Dania Ala’ Ata Adas, 19.
  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.

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.

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.

Hashem Mubarak

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.

Nayef Al-Aweidat

contact@ifamericansknew.org

January 26, 2023: Nayef Al-Aweidat, 13, died from serious wounds sustained last year during the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources said the child, a resident of the Nusseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, sustained wounds during the Israeli bombing that targeted the Al-Hasayna neighborhood in the camp.

During the three-day aerial bombardment of Gaza in August 2022, Israeli bombs killed at least 47 people—including 16 children—and injured over 300. Over 650 homes were destroyed – and many Palestinians in Gaza are unable to rebuild homes destroyed in Israeli bombings because Israel has banned the import of building materials into the besieged coastal Strip.

Here is an eyewitness account of that three-day assault on Gaza.

Among those killed in the three-day-long Israeli bombardment was Ala’ Abdullah Qaddoum, 5, killed by a missile dropped on her home by the Israeli military. She was one of eleven Palestinians killed in a barrage of Israeli missiles fired into Gaza in the middle of the afternoon on August 5th.

Dozens of airstrikes were carried out by Israeli forces in the span of a few minutes in different parts of the Gaza Strip. In addition to the 11 killed, at least 55 Palestinians were wounded and taken to local hospitals for treatment of moderate to severe wounds.

The airstrikes were apparently attempting to target certain Palestinian resistance leaders – but most of those killed in the airstrikes were civilians.

January 04, 2023: Saed Mousa Al-Qatanani, 37, died from serious wounds he suffered two days earlier in an accidental shooting in the Gaza Strip.

Saed died from serious wounds he suffered two days earlier in an accidental shooting. Two of his brothers were assassinated by the army in 2012 and 2009.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, Saed was one of its senior fighters from Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

The Brigades added that Saed died on Wednesday evening and added that the fighter was one of its senior members who participated in countering Israeli soldiers invading Gaza in previous Israeli offensives.

The Brigades added that its fighters will never abandon the path of resistance until liberation and independence.

“Our fighters will remain committed to the struggle for liberation,” the Al-Quds Brigades said, “Our weapons will always have just one target, the illegal Israel occupation.”

Saed is the brother of Fadi Mousa Qatanani, who was assassinated by the Israeli army on November 21, 2012, after an Israeli war jet fired a missile at his home, and Ali Mousa Qatanani, who was assassinated by the Israeli army on April 1, 2009.

Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Kurd

contact@ifamericansknew.org

December 16, 2022: Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Kurd, 45, died of cancer after having been denied entry to Jerusalem for lifesaving medical treatment.

The Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights reported that the discriminatory movement restrictions and the arbitrary permit regime imposed by Israeli authorities on Palestinian patients from Gaza, which obstruct their access to hospitals outside the Strip, claimed the life of Mahmoud.

The most recent case of permit delay led to the death of Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Kurd, a 45-year-old cancer patient from Deir al-Balah City, on 16 December 2022, after being repeatedly denied access to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in Jerusalem.

Al-Kurd suffered from lung cancer. Despite obtaining a medical referral from the Palestinian Ministry of Health and securing appointments at the Augusta Victoria Hospital in Jerusalem, Israeli authorities denied him the requisite exit permit to travel for four different appointments. The last appointment to which access was denied for Al-Kurd was scheduled for 29 November 2022.

As Al-Kurd’s legal representative, Al Mezan communicated with the Israeli Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA) at Erez Crossing to grant him a permit, but to no avail. We then filed a preliminary petition to the Israeli Prosecutor’s Office in Beersheba to facilitate the patient’s access to the hospital, but the Prosecutor’s Office responded that they would allow him to pass through Jordan, although his appointment was in Jerusalem. At that point, Al Mezan, together with Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (PHRI), took the case to the Israeli Supreme Court, which approved the patient’s access to the hospital through the Erez crossing.

On 15 December 2022, the patient received a new hospital appointment at Augusta Victoria Hospital and accessed the hospital successfully. However, he arrived in Jerusalem in extremely poor health conditions and was pronounced dead the next day, at 10:30 pm on Friday, 16 December 2022.

Al Mezan’s documentation shows that since the beginning of 2022, nine patients—including three children—have died following Israel’s delay or denial of requests for exit permits.

We reiterate that Israel’s draconian, stifling closure of Gaza serves to deny inhabitants their fundamental right to health, and other inalienable rights, as part of an entrenched system of oppression, domination, and discrimination against the Palestinian people.

Al Mezan’s decades of experience in representing patients indicates that Israel’s denials or permit delays are not based on valid reasons but rather are part of the collective punishment and apartheid regime to which it subjects more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Al Mezan calls on the international community—in particular, the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Geneva Conventions—to uphold their moral and legal obligations vis-à-vis the protected Palestinian people and to ensure Israel complies with its obligations under international law, ends the closure and blockade on the Gaza Strip, and stops its ongoing restrictions of Palestinian patients’ access to medical care outside the Gaza Strip.

Lastly, Al Mezan reiterates that the continued impunity provided to the Israeli forces encourages the repetition of crimes and violations against the Palestinian people.

Nabil Shallah

contact@ifamericansknew.org

December 09, 2022: Nabil Shallah, 59, died from serious wounds he suffered in August 2022 during the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Media sources said Nabil Shallah, 59, from the Sheja’eyya neighborhood east of Gaza city, has died from his wounds at a hospital in Gaza.

The Palestinian man suffered life-threatening wounds when the Israeli army fired missiles at homes and buildings near Abu Samra Mosque in the Sheja’eyya neighborhood.

The Israeli offensive on Gaza started with the assassination of Taiseer Mohammad al-Ja’bari, 50, a senior leader of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, when the Israeli air force fired missiles at Burj Falasteen (Palestine Tower) in the center of Gaza City, on August 5th, killing many civilians in the apartment building and wounding dozens.

The Palestine Tower has thirteen floors and many government offices and media centers. The bombing also caused damage to many surrounding buildings, stores, and commercial facilities.

The three-day offensive on Gaza led to the death of 49 Palestinians, including fifteen children and four women, and caused 360 injuries, including 151 children and 58 women; many of the injured suffered life-threatening wounds.

Akram Ahmad Al-Sultan

October 17, 2022: Akram Ahmad Mohammad Al-Sultan, 62, died after the Israeli authorities denied travel for treatment at Al-Muttala’ (Augusta Victoria) Hospital in occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank.

Hazem Akram Al-Sultan, 38, said that his father had sustained a fracture in the eleventh thoracic vertebra (T11) in June 2022.

After conducting many examinations, it turned out that he had leukemia, and the doctors decided to refer him to Al-Muttala’ (Augusta Victoria) Hospital in occupied Jerusalem due to his bad health condition and urgent need for radiotherapy that is not available at the Gaza Strip’s hospitals.

On 18 July 2022, the patient applied for a permit to the Israeli authorities to travel for treatment at Al-Muttala’ Hospital, but on 08 August 2022, the Israeli authorities responded that his request was still “under study”.

The patient had to obtain a new appointment on 13 August 2022, and applied for another permit, but the Israeli authorities put his request under study again. The patient repeated the same procedures to obtain a new appointment on 30 September 2022.

On 06 October 2022, he received a text message to go to Beit Hanoun “Erez” crossing for an interview with the Israeli intelligence, so in the same morning he went there.  After waiting for 3 hours, he was asked to return to the Gaza Strip without conducting the interview.

On 17 October 2022, his health condition got worse, and he was referred to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza Strip, where he was pronounced dead.

According to PCHR’s follow-up, so far this year, the Israeli authorities have obstructed the travel of 5,472 patients with serious diseases that lack treatment at the Strip’s hospitals.

These restrictions coincide with the deterioration of the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip due to the Israeli-imposed closure on the Strip for the last 16 years, causing a perpetual shortage of essential drugs and medical devices and insufficient number of specialized health personnel.

PCHR condemns the obstruction of Gaza Strip Patients’ travel for treatment abroad, and calls on the international community, including the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention to exert pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to assume their legal responsibilities towards the Gaza Strip population, including patients, and to ensure that adequate and safe mechanism is provided for their travel to receive treatment abroad.

PCHR urges the international community to pressure Israel to lift the closure imposed on the Gaza Strip in line with Security Council Resolution No. 1860 that calls for the unimpeded provision and distribution of humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza, including of food, fuel, and medical treatment, meaning allowing the entry of medical supplies used in radiotherapy, chemical drugs and periodic examinations for cancer patients that are not available in Gaza hospitals.

The Palestinian Center For Human Rights – PCHR, said Akram is eight Palestinian patient from Gaza, including three children, to die due to Israeli restrictions since the beginning of this year.
