Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian in Raid

The Israeli army had entered his home to arrest his son Mohammed, who was wanted on suspicion of security offences, but according to the reports, his father was caught up in the violence after he ran downstairs to see what was happening.

Another satellite channel, Hala TV, also serves 1948 Palestinians, but is commercial, they say. He went out onto the balcony calling for an ambulance, they usually opened hearth on him…

The Israeli authorities have not yet commented on the reported killing but the hospital has confirmed that the 24-year-old son was being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg.

Former peace negotiator Uri Savir said Abbas should focus his peace lobbying on Israeli Jews, though he and others say Israel’s clampdown on the channel was misguided. The wounded man was taken to hospital, she said.

The wanted suspect however was not taken into custody.

The Israeli military says its troops were carrying out an arrest raid when they were confronted by “a violent mob”.

The attacking force initially attempted to arrest both Mohammad and Ahmad Abu Maria, but they later resorted to the use of live fire for no justified reason.

A soldier was “barely injured” by a stone, she stated. The physician recognized the person as Falah Abu Maria.

One Palestinian fired a rifle at the forces, an AFP correspondent said. No casualties were reported.

“Susiya is emblematic of a pattern of injustice that is repeating itself across many parts of the West Bank”, said Robert Piper, the UN’s Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

On Wednesday, 21-year-old Mohammed Ahmed Alauna was shot and killed by soldiers in the West Bank village of Burkin, located west of Jenin.

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Thursday killed a 53-year-old Palestinian Falah Abu Maria, from Beit Ummar village, north of Hebron.

“The two movements stress our people’s right to self-defence and to a response to the crimes of the occupation, by all possible and available means”.

One year since the beginning of the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 Palestinians, tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are left with huge scars of war.

The spokesman called on Israel to “immediately stop creating a destructive atmosphere”.

A Palestinian physician in a Hebron hospital stated a 52-year-old man had been shot and killed and two of his sons have been wounded.

Earlier this month, an Israeli colonel shot dead Muhammad al-Kasbeh, 17, near the Qalandiya checkpoint between occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank.
