Israeli soldiers resorted, Friday, to the use of excessive force against the nonviolent protesters in Kufur Qaddoum village, in the northern West Bank district of Qalqilia, shooting a journalist with a gas bomb in his head, and causing dozens of residents to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation.
Morad Eshteiwy, the coordinator of the Popular Committee in Kufur Qaddoum, said the soldiers assaulted the nonviolent protesters, just after they started marching from the center of the village, and fired gas bombs at them, leading to clashes. Many locals hurled stones at the invading military vehicles, while the |
soldiers fired more gas bombs, concussion grenades, and rubber-coated steel bullets.
Eshteiwy added that one of the gas bombs struck a photojournalist, identified as Nidal Eshteyya, in the back of his head, before medics rushed him to Rafidia Hospital, in the northern West Bank district of Nablus.
He also said that the soldiers fired dozens of gas bombs at the protesters, and many homes in Kufur Qaddoum, causing dozens of residents, including five family members, to suffer the severe effects of teargas inhalation.
The army also sprayed the protesters, and many homes with wastewater mixed with chemicals.
Local sources in the village said the soldiers have recently started a very serious escalation campaign against Kufur Qaddoum, especially by deliberately destroying water pipelines and electricity networks, in addition to installing roadblocks and restricting the freedom of movement of the residents.
Kufur Qaddoum residents started their weekly protests more than 13 years ago, after the army completely closed the village’s main road to enable easy access to the Israeli colonists, driving to and from the illegal Kedumim colony, that was built on privately-owned Palestinian lands.
In related news, dozens of Palestinian, Israeli and international peace activists marched, Friday, against the Israeli Annexation Wall and colonies, in Bil’in village near Ramallah, raised Palestinian and Scottish flags to thank the Scottish activists for supporting Palestine during the soccer match between Scottish and Israeli teams.

A Palestinian family from Jerusalem managed, on Thursday at dawn, to hold a funeral and burial ceremony for their son, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers 324 days ago, after he, and another Palestinian, reportedly killed three Israelis in Armon Hanetziv colony, built on Palestinian lands in Jabal al-Mokabber town, in Jerusalem.
The Israeli army imposed severe restrictions and installed many roadblocks, in addition to preventing the Palestinians, and journalists, from documenting the funeral and burial ceremonies, at the Mujahidin Graveyard, in Salaheddin Street, in Jerusalem.
The Israeli military only allowed 25 Palestinians to participate in the funeral, after subjecting them to extensive and provocative searches, in addition to confiscating their phones.
The Israeli military and security forces have tried, for several months, to pressure the family of Baha’ Oleyyan, 22, into burying their slain son in previously determined locations, including the West Bank, and tried to limit the number of funeral participants, but the family kept rejecting the Israeli preconditions.
Baha’s father said it was very difficult for the family to identify their slain son, especially due to postmortem issues, including skin color, face and eyes, and added that the corpse was not frozen, but very cold.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic) said the soldiers imposed a very strict siege on all roads surrounding the graveyard, especially Salaheddin Street, Sahera Gate and Sultan Suleiman Street, and prevented the Palestinians from entering these areas for more than three hours.

Following the funeral, the soldiers assaulted many family members, including Baha’s father, and refused to allow him to talk to the journalists who had to stand far from Sahera Gate and Salaheddin Street.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers also fired several concussion grenades and sound bombs at many Palestinians, and prevented them from even approaching the Oleyyan family.Israel claims that Elian and another Palestinian killed three Israelis, after one of them grabbed a gun from a bus passenger and began shooting.

He added that no detainee has been held in custody on account of his/her free speech or political activism and that all arrests are carried out on criminal or security grounds only.

Dozens of Palestinian journalists rallied on Sunday outside the headquarters of the International Red Cross in Gaza in support for the cancer-stricken journalist Bassam al-Sayeh, whose life has sharply deteriorated in Israeli jails.
The rally-goers called on the international community to urgently intervene and work on saving al-Sayeh before it is too late.
They further spoke out against the harsh torture and arbitrary detention policies perpetrated against al-Sayeh and other detainees.
Head of the Palestinian Journalists Forum, Imad al-Ifrinji, sounded the alarm over the critical turn for the worse al-Sayeh’s health has taken.
Al-Ifrinji urged the Palestinian Authority, chaired by Mahmoud Abbas, to take up its responsibility as regards the prisoners’ cause.
The journalist also called on the mass media to mobilize mass support for the prisoners’ cause at a time when the Israeli occupation forces have been quelling free speech.
“The only means to exert pressure on the Israeli occupation is to step up uprisings,” he added, warning of the imminent death of al-Sayeh in case serious steps are not urgently made to save him.
Speaking on behalf of the Waed Association, Abdullah Qindil slammed the Red Cross Organization for its apathy as regards such Israeli crimes against Palestinian detainees, dubbing such a position an involvement in crime.
Qindil held the Red Cross and international institutions responsible for al-Sayeh’s life.
Spokeswoman for Euro-Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights, Maha al-Husseini, spoke out against the arbitrary abductions and exhaustive interrogations to which dozens of Palestinian journalists have been subjected in Israeli custody so as to force confession.
“The Israeli occupation authority has been preventing detainees from family visits and from their right to medical kit,” she noted. Euro-Med documented a striking surge in Israeli violations and attacks on journalists and their equipment in a serious breach of international and humanitarian laws.
In a related context, the Association of Democratic Journalists said journalist Omar Nazal has been on an open-ended hunger strike for the 18th day running in an Israeli jail.
Rami al-Sharafi, from the association, also said six Palestinian detainees have continued their hunger strike in protest at Israeli administrative detention policy, with neither charge nor trial.
