Les troupes israéliennes ont mortellement blessé un adolescent palestinien ce jeudi. Il avait jeté des pierres sur un convoi militaire en Cisjordanie.

Bahr Khalid Ahmed Bahr, 15 ans, a été tué dans la région de Beit Ummar, près de la ville d’Hébron, en Cisjordanie, a rapporté un communiqué de l’armée.

« Des pierres ont été lancées sur les soldats. L’un d’entre eux a été légèrement blessé », a déclaré une porte-parole israélienne à l’AFP, ajoutant que les soldats ont d’abord tiré des coups de semonce et « ont ensuite ouvert le feu sur le suspect, le tuant ».

Mohammed Ayad Aoud, un militant des médias qui se trouvait sur les lieux du drame, a rapporté au site d’informations locales Maan que les troupes israéliennes avaient prévenu les équipes médicales pour qu’elles soignent le garçon et qu’elles n’avaient pas autorisé les passants à l’approcher.

Les images qui ont circulé sur les sites d’informations palestiniens ont montré le corps du jeune garçon, son visage couvert de sang, allongé sur le sol, entouré des troupes israéliennes lourdement armées. Le ministère palestinien de la Santé a confirmé un peu plus tard que l’adolescent était décédé.

In an excessive use of lethal force, a Palestinian civilian, from Beit Ummer village, north of Hebron, was killed by Israeli forces from a range of less than 10 meters, while he was present in an agricultural field in Beit Za’ta area, east of the village. According to PCHR’s investigations and eyewitnesses’ statements, at approximately 17:00, Khalid Bahar Ahmed Bahar ( 15), from Beit Ummer village, east of Hebron, was present in the street adjacent to a cemetery. He saw an Israeli military jeep quickly coming from al-Montazah street, so he threw a stone at the jeep and then ran towards the agricultural land. After that, two Israeli soldiers stepped out of the jeep and then one of them fired a live bullet at Khalid, during which, a number of Palestinian young men gathered. Few minutes later, a military ambulance and another PRCS ambulance arrived at the area. Israeli forces prevented the Palestinian ambulance from offering any help and then heavily fired tear-gas canisters at the protesters to disperse them. After that, Israeli forces put Khalid on a litter and then took him by a military vehicle to an unknown destination. It should be noted that Khalid was hit with a live bullet that entered his back from the right side and then exited his chest. As a result, he immediately died.

HEBRON (Ma’an) — Israeli authorities have decided to return the body of slain 15-year-old Palestinian Khalid Bahr Ahmad Bahr to his family on Friday in the village of Beit Ummar in the occupied West Bank district of Hebron, sources at the Palestinian Civil Affairs Committee said on Thursday.

The sources added that the slain teenager would be buried on Saturday.

Bahr was shot dead by Israeli forces on Oct. 20 after allegedly throwing stones at a group of Israeli soldiers stationed near the Beit Ummar junction in the northern part of the village. A local activist, Muhammad Ayyad Awwad, told Ma’an at the time that Israeli forces had shot the minor in the back, with the bullet exiting through his chest.

HEBRON (Ma’an) — After Israel returned on Friday the bodies of seven Palestinians that were killed by Israeli forces in recent months, funerals held in their hometowns across the occupied West Bank drew large crowds, with clashes erupting in Beit Ummar during the Saturday morning funeral for 15-year-year old Khalid Bahr .

Locals of Beit Ummar carried Khalid’s body to be buried after performing a prayer in the town’s mosque Saturday morning.

Israeli forces killed the 15-year-old boy on Oct. 20 in the village, when Israeli authorities claimed a soldier shot Khalid for throwing rocks at Israeli forces. An internal Israeli army investigation later revealed that the lives of Israeli soldiers were not at risk when Khalid was killed.

Following Khalid’s funeral, clashes erupted between Palestinian youth and Israeli forces at the entrance of Beit Ummar, after dozens of local youth threw rocks and empty bottles at the Israeli military post at the entrance of the town.

Witnesses said that an Israeli army ambulance was at the scene transferring a soldier from the area.

Locals said that Israeli military reinforcement arrived to the area afterwards, where Israeli soldiers fired rubber-coated steel bullets and tear-gas bombs at youths.

The funeral was preceded by a predawn Israeli army raid in central Beit Ummar Saturday morning. Activist Muhammad Awad said that Israeli forces raided and searched the house of Moussa Hassan Zaaqiq, which has been raided several times previously.
