Mohammad Sa’ady Hasheema, 63
Palestinian medical sources in occupied Jerusalem have reported that an elderly man died, Tuesday, of wounds suffered more than three months ago, after Israeli soldiers opened fire on the funeral procession of a Palestinian child who was killed by army fire.
The sources said that, on September 7 2014, resident Mohammad Sa’ady Hasheema, 63, was injured in the face, during the funeral ceremony of Mohammad Sonnoqrot, 16 years of age.
Medical sources said Hasheema suffered a serious injury when an Israeli concussion grenade detonated very close to his face, in Wad al-Jouz area, in occupied East Jerusalem.
The man also suffered from cancer, and other health conditions, that led to further complications following his injury.
The death of Abu Hasheema brings the number of Palestinians, killed in occupied Jerusalem this year to 15.
The army also demolished 210 Palestinian homes in the occupied city this year, including two homes demolished earlier Tuesday in Jabal al-Mokabber, southeast of Jerusalem.

Imam Jamil Dweikat 15
A Palestinian boy was killed afternoon Monday at the hands of Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at the Za’tara roadblock, south of Nablus.
Palestinian Red Crescent sources told the PIC that the 15-year-old boy Imam Jamil Dweikat was shot dead by IOF soldiers, who are still detaining his body.
They said that his friend Nael Talat Dhiyab was also suffering moderate to serious wounds in his foot.
IOF soldiers fired at the two minors while passing through the checkpoint at the pretext they threw stones on the soldiers.

Hundreds of Jerusalemites at dawn Thursday marched in the funeral procession of the two Palestinian martyrs Udai and Ghassan Abu Jabal after the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) had been withholding their bodies for 36 days.
Ghassan and Udai were shot dead by the Israeli occupation police after they were involved in an attack on a Jewish synagogue in Deir Yassin village.
Lawyer of ad-Dameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association said in a statement Wednesday the IOA suddenly notified the youngsters’ families of its decision to return the bodies of the two martyrs on the condition that they be buried in the shadows of darkness and that 40 persons, only, be allowed to join the interment, setting a timeframe that does not exceed one hour and a half for the entire procedure.

The Israeli occupation police stipulated that the family would pay a 20-thousand-shekel fine in case any violations in the terms of such provisos would occur.
Ad-Dameer association spoke out against such a humiliating decision saying Israel’s seizure of the bodies of the two martyrs along with the prerequisites determining the time, place, and manner the way the latter should be buried represent a serious offense to the sentiments of Muslims both nationwide and oversees.
The institution said the decision makes part of Israel’s collective punishment tactics and policies of psycho-physical torture perpetrated against Palestinians and adherents of Islam.
“The move comes as part of Israel’s adoption of a spatio-temporal politics of ethnic cleansing against Palestinians in Occupied Jerusalem,” Ad-Dameer added. “This is another episode in the series of Israeli racist and chauvinistic decrees.”

Hamas on Wednesday called on all Palestinian national factions to join a meeting set to be convened Thursday to decide on a response to Israel’s murder of a resistance fighter south of Gaza in a renewed violation of the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire accord.
Hamas said in a statement the meeting is to be convened at 10 a.m. on Thursday to decide on a reaction to Israel’s infringement of the truce accord.
Taiseer Yousef Samiri, 34, one of al-Qassam resistance fighters, was killed during clashes that took place after the Israeli occupation soldiers fired shells close to east of al-Qarara town, near Khan Younis, in the southern area of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas held the Israeli occupation responsible for the simmering tension that rocked southern Gaza Wednesday.
Hamas spoke out against the series of violations and terror campaigns perpetrated by the Israeli occupation on a quasi-daily basis in Gaza. This includes the mock raids, infiltrations into the border fence and the random shooting of fishermen and farmers.
The movement said Hamas would only be committed to the truce agreement on conditions that the Israeli occupation is.
Hamas’s armed wing, Izzeddin al-Qassam, warned the Israeli occupation against stepping up violations of the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire, saying “Israel would be the first to be burned by its fire.”
Referring to Wednesday’s attack, the group said this was a “dangerous violation and a crossing of all red lines, as well as an act of playing with fire.”
“The enemy alone bears the responsibility of the repercussions of its uncalculated actions,” al-Qassam warned.
“The blood of our martyrs will remain a beacon lighting up our way to the liberation of Palestine,” the group added.
“It seems that this murderous enemy has not learned the hard lessons it was dealt by the resistance in the past,” al-Qassam added. “The enemy thinks that our people and the resistance are tired or exhausted after the last war.”
At least 2,100 Palestinians were killed while over 11,000 were left wounded in the latest 51-day Israeli offensive on the blockaded Gaza Strip last summer.
Taiseer is the second Palestinian to be killed by the Israeli occupation forces since the two sides struck the truce deal on August 26.

Taiseer Yousef Samiri, 34
Two Israeli soldiers were seriously wounded and a member of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, was killed in a clash in southern Gaza on Wednesday.
The PIC reporter quoted eyewitnesses as saying that a unit of the Israeli military engineering corps advanced into eastern al-Qarara town to the east of Khan Younis city and a sniper of the Qassam Brigades fired at them wounding two of the soldiers.
They added that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) then shelled a monitoring unit for the Qassam Brigades killing the field commander Tayseer al-Samiri.
The Hebrew website 0404, for its part, said that the two soldiers were transferred aboard an army chopper to Soroka hospital in Beersheba.
It added that the IOF ordered its elements to remain aloof from the security fence and nearby fields in anticipation of more sniper fire.
The PIC reporter said that heavy exchange of fire between Palestinian resistance fighters and IOF soldiers are currently raging in the area as IOF reinforcements are arriving to the scene of the clashes.

Mahmoud Abdullah ‘Adwan 21
Israeli soldiers invaded, on Tuesday at dawn, the Qalandia refugee camp, in the central West Bank district of Ramallah, shot and killed a young Palestinian man with a live round to the head.
Medical sources said the soldiers shot Mahmoud Abdullah ‘Adwan, 21 years of age, seriously wounding him to the head, and prevented Palestinian medics from reaching the heavily bleeding Palestinian.
The sources added that the medics eventually managed to reach the seriously wounded man, and moved him to the Palestine Medical Center in Ramallah, where he died of his serious injury.
Eyewitnesses said dozens of soldiers invaded the camp, during early dawn hours, to kidnap some Palestinians, an issue that led to clashes with scores of local youths.
The soldiers fired dozens of rounds of live ammunition, while local youths hurled stones, empty bottles and several Molotov cocktails at the invading vehicles.
The army later kidnapped a Palestinian, identified as Mojahed Mazen Hamad, 26, and took him to an unknown destination.
According to the Israeli military, Palestinian fighters exchanged fire with the invading soldiers, threw an explosive charge at them, and that the soldiers shot and injured two Palestinians. The army reported no injuries among its soldiers.
