Palestinian killed in clashes with Israeli troops

Jarrar was arrested at her West Bank home in April.

The left-wing Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine later said that Shahin had been one of its supporters.

“These dolls were making their way to the Palestinian Authority with one clear objective”, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said Tuesday.

On December 8, approximately 4,000 plush toys of rock-throwing men dressed in Palestinian clothing were seized at the Haifa port by Israeli authorities, who said that the dolls were intended for the Palestinian Authority as a part of an incitement campaign.

Israel accuses Palestinian groups – especially resistance movement Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which respectively govern the blockaded Gaza Strip and the West Bank – of inciting attacks on Israelis.

In a statement released later, the PFLP said that Shahin was a a supporter of the group who was killed “during fierce clashes with Israeli troops who raided the camp to detain young men affiliated to the PFLP”.

“There is no legal basis for Khalida’s sentencing”, Ashrawi said.

According to her attorney, Mahmoud Hassan, Jarrar finally agreed to the plea deal because she has no faith in Israel’s military courts. “It is high time for the dehumanization and the captivity of the Palestinian people to end”.

THOUSANDS of Palestinians attended the funeral for a youth killed by Israeli troops yesterday, as Israel announced it had jailed a female MP.

While Israel holds more than 6,700 Palestinian political prisoners, the arrest of the prominent figure Jarrar was also criticized by the European Union and Amnesty International.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, Ehab Maswadeh, 20, was killed near Hebron’s Ibrahimi Mosque, referred to by Israelis as the “Cave of the Patriarchs”. Local residents said that Israeli soldiers fired live rounds, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades “indiscriminately” through the camp’s narrow alleys.

Since 1 October, Israeli forces have killed 105 Palestinians, 65 of whom Israel says were assailants or had been caught on camera carrying out assaults. If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article.
