Two Palestinians Killed On Two West Bank Roadblocks
Picture
Anas Fuad al-Atrash 23

Bashir Same Hananeen 28


Palestinian medical sources have reported, on Thursday at night [November 7, 2013], that Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinians at two roadblocks near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, and the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

The sources said that resident Anas Fuad al-Atrash, 23 years of age, was shot and killed by Israeli military fire at the Container Roadblock, northeast of the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

The Israeli military alleged that al-Atrash “attempted to stab a soldier at the

roadblock” before soldiers noticed him and shot him dead.

The army withheld his body, and moved it an israeli forensic facility, and handed it to Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance on Friday at dawn.

On Thursday evening, soldiers stationed at the Za’tara roadblock, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, shot and killed a Palestinian, after alleging he tried to attack soldiers in the area using a fireworks gun.

Eyewitnesses said that the body of the Palestinian, Bashir Same Hananeen, 28, from Marka village near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, was seen lying next to the roadblock.

Soldiers prevented the Palestinians from approaching, and closed the roadblock, forcing the residents to seek alternate routes.

His family strongly denounced his death, and said that the Israeli claims he carried the fireworks gun are just lies and manipulation of the truth, adding that Hananeen is a college teacher, "executed in cold blood."

Earlier on Thursday, soldiers invaded various districts in the occupied West Bank, and kidnapped at least seven Palestinians before taking them to a number of interrogation facilities.

Later in the day, Israeli officers kidnapped Mohammad Abu Khdeir, at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv as he was flying back from Egypt.

An Israeli court ordered him under interrogation until November 13, and prevented him from seeing his lawyer. His family said he works for the Jerusalem daily newspaper and that the soldiers broke into their home and violently searched it.

Israeli forces kill 2nd Palestinian at the Container checkpoint

Israeli border guards shot and killed a Palestinian youth at Container checkpoint northeast of Bethlehem, in the second deadly shooting in 12 hours. Anas Fouad al-Atrash, aged 23, from al-Khalil was shot dead overnight. Israeli forces claimed that al-Atrash tried to stab a soldier at the Container checkpoint.

Eyewitnesses said ambulances rushed to the area as Israeli forces shut down the checkpoint.

Al-Atrash's father, Fuad, said "they stopped my two sons at the checkpoint and they were waiting to be checked. Then the soldiers came to the car and opened the door, when my son tried to get out they shot him."

The brother was arrested, he added.

Hours earlier, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man at the Zaatara checkpoint in southern Nablus, claiming that he shot at soldiers using an air pistol.

Israeli army kills Palestinian youth at Zaatara checkpoint

Israeli military forces on Thursday evening shot and killed a 20-year-old man from Nablus at the Zaatara checkpoint in the south of the northern West Bank city, claiming he shot at Israeli soldiers using an air pistol. A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said that the man was carrying "an improvised weapon" and firing it repeatedly, and that the soldiers shot him "to prevent causalities."

The WALLA website quoted sources in the army as saying that none of the soldiers was injured and that the young man died on the spot after being shot by soldiers.

Eyewitnesses said that directly following the shooting, a large number of Israeli soldiers gathered at the checkpoint and closed it, then announced the area a closed military zone.

They added that the ambulances rushed to the scene, where the explosives experts, policemen and soldiers started examining the body of the martyr.

The witnesses noted that the occupation forces opened minor roads for Palestinian vehicles.

UFree condemns Israeli medical negligence policy toward prisoners
Picture
UFree Network to defend the rights of Palestinian prisoners strongly condemned the Israeli occupation prison authorities for its medical negligence which resulted in the death of Palestinian prisoner Hassan Al Torabi due to his illness with cancer, bringing the number of Palestinian prisoners who died in Israeli jails to 205. Al Torabi was detained since the 1st of January 2013 regardless of his severe health condition where he suffered cancer.

UFree Network denounced the international community’s silence towards the Israeli crimes against Palestinian prisoners and detainees on a daily basis, pointing out that 1600 patient prisoners are being held in Israeli occupation jails including 25 with cancer.

The Oslo based network called on the contracting parties of the Fourth Geneva Convention to intervene immediately to put an end to Israeli violations against prisoners and to work for their release.

Meanwhile, a state of high tension has prevailed in Israeli jails after the Israeli Prison Services (IPS) declared a high alert to suppress the prisoners' protests following the death of prisoner al-Torabi's.

In Raymond prison, the prisoners refused their meals protesting the martyrdom of a patient prisoner due to the Israeli medical negligence policy.

In turn, IPS repression units stormed the prisoners' sections and rooms, where they assaulted and brutally beat the protesting prisoners, causing different injuries among them.

In Nafha prison, Palestinian prisoners declared a hunger strike for three days, threatening to escalate their protest steps in coordination with the rest of prisons in response to the crime.

In Megiddo prison, more than 20 prisoners were injured after Israeli repression units stormed the prison and assaulted the prisoners in response to their protests declared following the martyrdom of their colleague.

The Captive Movement has confirmed that Palestinian prisoners in all Israeli jails have refused their meals today, while the lawyers have boycotted Israeli courts on Tuesday protesting the death of the patient prisoner al-Torabi and the Israeli deliberate medical negligence.

Hamas: Death of Turabi an Israeli crime
Picture
Hamas movement held the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) fully responsible for the death of captive Hasan Al-Turabi due to its deliberate medical neglect of Palestinian prisoners and the inhuman practices against Turabi. Hamas said in a statement on Tuesday that the “martyrdom of Turabi, 22, is a new Israeli crime in the series of crimes against our prisoners that are not subject to statute of limitation”.

The movement warned the IOA of continuing in its aggressive practices against Palestinian prisoners, adding that such practices would not break the determination of those prisoners.

Hamas described as a violation of international laws and human rights the IOA practices against prisoners the latest was the attack on Megiddo jail on Tuesday and the injury of 20 prisoners in the process in addition to the savage assault on detained Hamas leaders Ra’fat Nassif and MP Abdulkhaleq Al-Natshe a couple of days ago and taking them to an unknown detention center.

Hamas called on the Palestinian masses, the Arab and Islamic countries and human rights groups and free people of the world to intervene and defend those prisoners and to expose the IOA crimes against them.

Ahrar Center for Prisoners' Studies and Human Rights strongly denounced the Israeli heinous crime against the martyr Hassan al-Turabi, 22, who was handed over to his family nearly dead after ten months of his arrest. The center called on PA to prosecute the occupation authorities for the deliberate medical negligence policy against patient prisoners.

The martyr Hassen al-Tourabi was arrested since 1 January 2013 regardless his health situation where he suffers cancer, Ahrar center said.

He was transferred from Megiddo prison to Afula prison where he slipped into a coma after his health condition deteriorated, the center added.

The occupation authorities started then asking al-Tourabi family to pay his treatment costs in an attempt to disclaime any responsibility.

Hassan al-Tourabi died19 days after being handed to his family where he was in very serious health condition since the first day of his release.

Fuad al-Khuffash, the center's director, stressed the need to work for prosecuting the occupation for its crimes against Palestinian patient prisoners.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian government in Gaza Strip denounced the Israeli racist and terrorist policy against Palestinian prisoners most recently was the martyrdom of Hassan al-Tourabi due to the Israeli deliberate medical negligence.

The government said that the occupation bears full responsibility for Hassan's martyrdom where he didn't receive any medical care especially that he suffers cancer, saying that it came as part of the Israeli systematic torture policy against Palestinian prisoners.

The Gaza government called on PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas to halt negotiations immediately and to prosecute the occupation authorities in international courts.

It also called on Palestinian, Arab and Islamic peoples to act urgently and effectively to raise prisoners' issue in international forums to end the plight of the Palestinian prisoners.

The government demanded all international organizations,  human rights institutions and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League and contracting parties of Fourth Geneva Convention to intervene immediately to put an end to Israeli violations against prisoners and to work for their release.

Rami Bajes Az-Zilbany 27

Palestinian medical sources have reported that Rami Bajes Az-Zilbany, 27 years of age, died of wounds suffered four years ago during clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli soldiers invading the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Zilbany, from the Shu’fat refugee camp in occupied East Jerusalem, was shot by a rubber-coated metal bullet to the heart causing hemorrhaging leading to heart valve malfunction, and went through four surgeries.

He spent his last few years between hospitals due to ongoing complications.

Doctors eventually told him that the only solution to his issue is a heart transplant, but he died before a heart transplant was possible.

His burial ceremony would be held Tuesday at the Al-Aqsa Mosque following noon prayers, before his burial at the Bab Ar-Rahma graveyard in occupied Jerusalem.

It is worth mentioning that Zilbany’s father, Bajes, was killed after being rammed by a settler’s vehicle in occupied Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) has reported that detainee Hasan Abdul-Halim Toraby, 22 years of age, died at the Al-‘Affoula Israeli Hospital, after being denied essential medical treatment. He was recently moved to the ‘Affoula hospital after a sharp deterioration in his condition.

Toraby is from Sorra village, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus. He suffered from Leukemia, and was not provided the urgently needed specialized treatment.

Head of the PPS office in Nablus Raed ‘Amer said that Toraby was taken prisoner ten months ago, and that, ten days ago, his condition severely deteriorated after his blood vessels ruptured.

‘Amer said that the PPS and other organizations are trying to coordinate the transfer of his body to Nablus, so that he can be properly buried.

His death brings the number of detainees who died in Israeli prison due to torture, medical neglect and due to being executed by the arresting officers since 1967 to 207 detainees.

Head of the PPS Qaddoura Fares said that Israel is fully responsible for the deaths of those detainees, and that the Israeli occupation is deliberately depriving the ailing detainees from the needed medical attention.

Fares called for the release of all ailing detainees so that they can get the adequate and urgently needed medical attention, and called on all human rights groups around the world to hold Israel accountable for its crimes.

Body Of Slain Fighter Located

Bodies Of Two Fighters Still Burried Under Rubble

After three long days of search, the body of slain fighter, Khaled Abu Bakra, was located, on Saturday evening under the rubble of tunnel bombarded by the Israeli army on the border near Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

Spokesperson of the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip Ashraf Al-Qodra stated that various governmental and civil institutions, residents and the Red Cross participated in the search until locating the body of the fighter.

The severely mutilated body of Abu Bakra was moved to the Nasser Governmental Hospital.

Al-Qodra added that the search campaign faced numerous obstacles, mainly due to toxic shells fired by the army at the tunnels.

He said the search had to be stopped as Israel allowed rescue teams to search for a limited time, and that the bodies of Mohammad Daoud and Mohammad Al-Qassas, are still buried under the rubble of the tunnels that is 18-20 meters deep underground.

Medical sources in Gaza said that the search would resume in an attempt to locate the two bodies.

Three days ago, Israeli military vehicles and tanks invaded the border area east of Khan Younis, to destroy the tunnel, that was uncovered a month ago, killed the three fighters, including two field leaders of the A-Qassam Brigades of Hamas.

As several armored vehicles and dozens of soldiers invaded the border area, on Thursday at night, to destroy the tunnel, armed resistance in Gaza opened fire at the invading soldiers and fired several mortars, wounding five Israeli soldiers, one seriously.

Israel said that the tunnel its soldiers discover is 2.5 kilometers (1.5 Miles) in length extending along the Gaza border after fighters of the Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, dug it through the sandy soil of the area and strengthened it with concrete.

The tunnel extended all the way reaching a military base, close to the Ein Hashlosha Kibbutz, across the border, meant to be used in carrying out attacks and to attempt the abduction of Israeli soldiers to trade them with Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel.

Israel said that explosives were located and defused in the tunnel, and that the digging of the tunnel with this magnitude would have needed at least a month to dig.

Three members of Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades military wing died Friday after an Israeli airstrike targeted them in a village in the southern Gaza Strip.

Their bodies were found cut into pieces south of the Gaza Strip, Ma’an reporter said. He identified them as Mohammad al-Qassas, Mohammad Dawoud, and Khalid Abu Bakra.

Ambulances were able to reach the area to pick up the bodies once Israeli forces withdrew about an hour and a half after the airstrike.

Early Thursday, a young man was killed and another wounded in a separate Israeli artillery shelling east of Khan Yunis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip.

Medics said a 22-year-old man died and another was injured after the two were targeted by Israeli forces in the Absan area east of Khan Younis.

Locals said that ambulances brought the body and the injured man to the hospital.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli army did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Four Palestinians Killed In Gaza

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, has reported that four of its fighters have been killed during armed clashes with Israeli soldiers invading Al-Qarara and Abasan Al-Jadeeda area, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The Brigades said that Khaled Mohammad Abu Jom’a, 35, Mohammad Rasheed Daoud, 26, Mohammad Omar Al-Qassam, 23, were killed during ensuing clashes with invading Israeli soldiers. While Rabee’ Baraka, 23, was killed in earlier clashes.

Several residents were injured as the army bombarded Khan Younis while the dozens of soldiers advanced into the area using armored vehicles.

Israeli military helicopters also fired a number of missiles and dozens of rounds of live ammunition.

The Brigades added that its fighters ambushed Israeli vehicles invading an area east of Khan Younis, and opened fire at them wounded five soldiers.

Israeli military sources said that the soldiers invaded the area to destroy a tunnel that was located two weeks ago, and came under heavy fire from Palestinian resistance fighters.

The army pushed more troops and tanks into the area, while several artillery shells were fired at armed resistance fighters who clashed with the invading soldiers.

Late on Thursday at night, five soldiers were injured, one seriously, by mortars fired by Palestinian fighters into the Eshkol settlement, across the border east of Khan Younis.

Different armed resistance groups in Gaza, including the Al-Qassam Brigades, said their fighters are ready for any possible larger Israeli invasion into the Gaza Strip, while hundreds of fighters were deployed close to border areas.

Palestinian security forces, run by the Hamas-led government in Gaza, are also on high alert, and are currently deployed in various border areas in the besieged coastal region.

Fighters further fired shells into the Kissufim Israeli military base, across the border east of Khan Younis, in addition to firing shells into a number of Israeli areas adjacent to the border.

On Thursday evening, Qassam fighters exchanged fire with several Israeli military vehicles invaded Khan Younis, while Israeli tanks fired shells at a number of areas and military helicopters opened heavy fire.

Palestinians die in clash with Israeli soldiers
Four Palestinians have been killed and several Israeli soldiers have been wounded in clashes near the separation fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel, reports say.

Israeli regime forces launched an attack on an area near the fence in the city of Khan Younis, located south of Gaza late on Thursday. Five Israeli soldiers were injured in the clashes.

In a similar incident on Thursday, a Palestinian man was killed in Khan Younis after a number of Israeli tanks crossed the separation fence into the coastal enclave.

Gaza has been under Israeli siege since 2007.
The Israeli military launches frequent attacks on the besieged Palestinian territory, claiming the raids are being conducted for ‘defensive purposes.’ However, disproportionate force is always used, in violation of international law, and civilians are often killed or injured.

In November 2012, Israeli military forces carried out the so-called Operation Pillar of Defense I on Gaza. Over 160 Palestinians, including women and children, lost their lives and about 1,200 others were injured during the eight-day war.

The 1.7 million Palestinians of the Gaza Strip are living in what is called the world’s largest open-air prison as Israel retains full control of the airspace, territorial waters, and border crossings of the territory.

5 soldiers injured in Gaza border incident

Golani Brigade soldiers including one officer hit when bomb goes off near border fence; one in serious condition. In response IDF tank fire kills Hamas terrorist; Gaza tunnel bombed

An IDF force operating on both sides of the Gaza border fence was hit after a bomb went off on Thursday night. One soldier was seriously injured, another moderately injured and three sustained light wounds.

It was initially believed the troops – Golani Brigade combatants backed by Engineering Corps soldiers – were hit by mortar fire but it was later revealed that they were hit by an explosive device. The five men, including one officer, were taken to the Soroka Medical Center in Beerheba. The troops were at the scene as part of the efforts to uncover additional parts of an underground terror tunnel that was located in the area a month ago.

The force returned fire. Palestinian sources reported that an IDF tank opened fired at a terror cell belonging to Hamas' armed wing - the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which was situated east of the city of Khan Younis in south Gaza.

The Palestinians further reported that during exchanges of fire between terrorists and IDF forces near the city of Abasan in south Gaza, a Palestinian terrorist was killed and another was wounded, apparently from IDF tank fire. The Palestinians identified the terrorist who was killed as Rabiya Barakeh, 21. The IDF later bombed a tunnel in the southern Strip.

According to the Palestinians, the incident followed the limited entry of IDF forces into Gaza, near the border fence, but Israeli officials said the forces operated beyond the security fence but still within Israeli territory.

The IDF recently uncovered in the Abasan area a 1.5-kilometer long tunnel that stretched from Gaza to the fields of Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha. The tunnel was meant to facilitate a complex terror attack involving an assault on soldiers or civilians.

Earlier this week the rocket fire on south Israel resumed after nearly a month of calm. Two rockets were fired from the Strip in the early hours of Monday morning. One was intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system. The IDF retaliated a few hours later by attacking rocket-launching pads in north Gaza.

Despite protests, IDF security details for the 13 Gaza-vicinity communities were officially terminated on Thursday morning, as soldiers left their posts and turned over authority to the local residents.

Residents of Netiv Ha'asara demonstrated against the move on Wednesday, but on Thursday held an emotional farewell ceremony for the departing soldiers.
Gov. praises resistance's reaction to Israeli aggression

Al-Qassam member Rabeea Baraka killed in an Israeli artillary shelling

The Palestinian Government praised the resistance's reaction to the Israeli incursion into southern Gaza Strip, stressing its role in protecting the Palestinian people from any aggression on Gaza. Spokesman for the Palestinian government Mr. Ihab al-Ghussain said Friday in a statement to ALRAY that "the latest aggression is not worrying because the Palestinian resistance is keeping a lookout for its perpetrators, and is always ready to respond to any possible Israeli violence,"

"Al-Qassam's facing of the Israeli occupation incursion proves the resistance movements ready to defend the Palestinian people in Gaza, and is a blow to those saying the resistance in Gaza is off duty; the resistance's preparing, training and tunneling have not stopped," al-Ghussain said.

The spokesman reassured Palestinian people that that 'the situation on the ground is under control, notwithstanding the growing atmosphere of plotting against the Gaza Strip,"

"The Gaza Strip has been subjected to a fierce plot by its enemies for the purpose of rolling up the democracy experienced therein, and subjugating its people, yet it survived and is willing to face the tightening siege in Gaza," he noted.

Interior Ministry reported on Friday night that a shelling targeted Palestinian resistance elements east of Khan Younis city, which Israel's tanks and bulldozers entered in a sudden incursion late Thursday.

Rabeea Baraka, 23, was killed upon the attack and another wounded in an Israeli artillery shelling in the Abasan area east of Khan Younis.

Rabee’ Baraka 22

Two Palestinians killed in less than 24 hours.

Thursday at night [October 31, 2013] Palestinian medical sources in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, have reported the Israeli soldiers killed one Palestinian, and injured several others, east of the Khan Younis refugee camp.

Medical sources said that Rabee’ Baraka, 22 years of age, was killed by an Israeli shell fired at residents in Abasan Al-Jadeeda, east of Khan Younis. Several Palestinians have also been injured in the attack.

The body of the slain Palestinian, and the wounded residents, were moved to a local hospital.

During the bombardment of the area, Israeli military choppers hovered overhead firing dozens of rounds of live ammunition, and flares.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, said that the slain Palestinian is one of its fighters.

On Thursday evening, a number of armored Israeli military vehicles invaded the Al-Qarara area, east of Khan Younis, while Palestinian armed resistance groups said they fired homemade shells into adjacent Israeli areas.

The Al-Qassam said that its fighters targeted a number of Israeli military vehicles invading an area in Khan Younis, and that Israeli tanks fired shells into several areas.

The Israeli army said its soldiers carried out a limited invasion into the area, and fired a number of shells, allegedly in response to homemade shells fired from Gaza.

Israeli military sources said that one officer was injured when a homemade shells was fired into the Eshkol settlement, close to the border with Gaza.

The sour added that the soldier was seriously injured, and was moved to the Soroka Israel Hospital in Beersheba (Be’er as-Sabe’).

On Thursday at dawn, dozens of Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian youth in Qabatia, south of the northern West bank city of Jenin, and wounded several others.

The slain Palestinian has been identified as Ahmad Imad Tazaz’a, 22. He was shot by a live round to heat; several residents were kidnapped during the invasion.
