May 10, 2023: Mohammad Yousef Abu T’eima, 25, was killed when an Israeli military drone fired a missile into Palestinian agricultural lands east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

Media sources said the drone fired the missile at lands east of Abasan town, east of Khan Younis, killing Mohammad, and seriously wounding another Palestinian.

The Israeli army claimed its drone targeted members of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, who reportedly intended to fire homemade shells.

The Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) said the Palestinian was a farmer and was killed while working on his land when the drone fired the missile.

WAFA added that the Israeli army also fired several artillery shells targeting two buildings, believed to be run by armed resistance groups, east of Khan Younis.

Also in Gaza, a Palestinian child was injured when the Israeli Air Force fired missiles into lands and buildings west of Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the coastal region.

The army also fired missiles into farmland near a local mosque in the Be’er An-Na’ja area, in Beit Lahia.

On the same day, dozens of thousands of Palestinians held the funeral ceremonies and processions of the fifteen Palestinians, including women and children, who were killed a day earlier in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

Thirteen of the slain Palestinians were killed on Tuesday dawn, and two were killed in renewed Israeli strikes in the evening of the same day.

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers killed two young Palestinian men and injured one in Qabatia town, south of Jenin.

May 10, 2023: Rani Walid Ahmad Qotnat, 24, was killed by undercover Israeli soldiers who also killed another young man, in Qabatia town, south of Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The head of the Jenin governmental hospital, Wisam Bakr, said the soldiers fatally shot Rani, from the Jenin refugee camp, and Ahmad Jamal Tawfiq Assaf, 19, from Qabatia, south of Jenin.

Bakr added that the soldiers also shot and seriously injured Aws Hamamda with live rounds in the chest and abdomen before he was rushed to Ar-Razi hospital in Jenin, where he was rushed to surgery and remained in critical condition.

The soldiers closed the area where they killed the two young men, and refused to allow anybody, including medics, to approach them and only withdrew after ensuring the two were dead.

Ahmad Jamal Assaf

Rani’s uncle said his nephew was an athlete who played soccer at a local club and was previously abducted and imprisoned by Israel for two years, and that he was also previously injured by the soldiers who shot him with two live rounds.

The soldiers shot Rani with a live round in the chest in his car before they ran toward him and fired many live rounds at him to ensure his death.

Eyewitnesses said a large Israeli military force in armored vehicles invaded the town before the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes, causing damage.

The Palestinians were shot when the army fired a barrage of live rounds at a Palestinian car in the town.

In the Gaza Strip, Thirteen Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on Tuesday dawn, and two were killed in renewed Israeli strikes in the evening of the same day.

The Health Ministry said the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and colonizers since the beginning of this year has reached 127, including 24 children and six women.

The Palestinians declared a general strike in the Jenin governorate to mourn the death of the two young men.

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.

  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.

May 06, 2023: Samer Salah Shafe’ey, 22, was shot and killed by Israeli forces during an invasion of the Tulkarem refugee camp north of Tulkarem city in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said several Israeli military vehicles invaded the refugee camp, leading to protests before the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that the soldiers killed 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.

The Health Ministry added that the soldiers also shot a young man with a live round in the leg, inflicting moderate wounds, and caused many Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation, cuts, and bruises.

The soldiers also abducted Ibrahim Shallash, 20, and Mohammad Baleedy, 23, before withdrawing from the refugee camp.

The Israeli army published a video showing the soldiers killing the two young men; one of them can be seen carrying a gun on a rooftop but unaware of their presence until they fired many live rounds at him and killed him.

Thousands of Palestinians participated in the funeral processions of the two slain young, starting in front of Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarem, carrying Palestinian flags and chanting for ongoing resistance until liberation and independence, before heading to Tulkarem refugee camp.

The funeral was held at the Salam Mosque in the Tulkarem refugee camp before the two were buried at the Shuhada graveyard in the Thannaba area, east of Tulkarem.
