October 16, 2015: Riyad Ibrahim Dar Yousef, 46, was killed by Israeli soldiers in his olive grove behind the Annexation Wall, in the village of al-Janiyah near the central West Bank city of Ramallah.

Riyad was in his olive grove behind the Israeli wall, when Israeli settlers attacked the family, so they left.

At the gate of the wall Israeli soldiers assaulted them and repeatedly beat up Riyad.

He suffered a moderate injury and was moved to Palestine Medical Center in Ramallah.

His injury later caused a heart attack that led to his death.

Riyad was from the al-Janiya village, northwest of the central West Bank city of Ramallah. Source: IMEMC

September 24, 2015:  Ahmad Izzat Khatatbeh, 26, died from serious wounds he suffered when Israeli soldiers shot him at a military roadblock, east of Nablus in northern West Bank, a week earlier.

Medical sources said Khatatbeh was shot with three live rounds in the shoulder, chest, and abdomen at the Beit Forik roadblock.

An Israeli army spokesperson said at the time that a petrol bomb was thrown at an Israeli army patrol in the area, near the illegal settlement of Itamar, with soldiers responding by shooting a Palestinian suspect and detaining another.

His death comes a day after hundreds of mourners marched during the funeral of 18-year-old Hadeel al-Hashlamon, who was shot dead by Israeli forces on Wednesday at a Hebron checkpoint.

Hadeel’s death had followed that of another Palestinian who was killed in a village outside Hebron by an explosive device he intended to throw at a military vehicle, the army said.

Some residents provided a similar account of the man’s death, while Palestinian security officials said the man, whom they identified as Dia al-Talahmeh, 21, had been shot dead by Israeli forces.

Khatatbeh’s death brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the start of 2015, to twenty-six.

Medical sources said the soldiers shot and seriously injured the young man, a week earlier, adding that he remained in a critical condition at a hospital in Nablus, until he succumbed to his wounds.

Medical sources told Ma’an News Agency that Ahmad was shot three times with live rounds in the shoulder, chest, and abdomen at the Beit Forik checkpoint last Friday.

An Israeli army spokesperson said at the time that a Molotov cocktail was thrown at an Israeli army patrol in the area, near the illegal colony of Itamar, with soldiers responding by shooting a Palestinian suspect and detaining another.

Khatatbeh’s death comes a day after hundreds of mourners marched in the funeral of 18-year-old Hadeel al-Hashlamon, who was shot dead by Israeli forces on Wednesday at a Hebron roadblock.

Hadeel’s death had followed that of another Palestinian who was killed in a village outside Hebron by an explosive device he intended to throw at a military vehicle, the army said.

Some residents provided a similar account of the man’s death, while Palestinian security officials said the man, whom they identified as Dia al-Talahmeh, 21, had been shot dead by Israeli forces.

Khatatbeh’s death Thursday brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the start of 2015 to twenty-six, according to UN documentation. The number does not include Palestinian deaths caused by Israeli settlers.
