In new crime of excessive use of force, Israeli forces killed two Palestinian civilians and wounded a third one in Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The Israeli forces claimed that the soldiers opened fire at “two attackers” after “Palestinian armed persons opened fire at them and threw explosive devices at the forces stationed in the camp”. However, PCHR’s investigations and eyewitnesses refute the Israeli narrative. PCHR strongly condemns this new crime. PCHR hereby stresses this crime was committed after the Israeli political and military leaders gave the Israeli soldiers the green light to shed the Palestinian blood in light of the international community’s policy to tolerate Israel for crimes committed by the Israeli soldiers against Palestinian civilians. According to PCHR’s investigations and eyewitnesses’ testimonies, at approximately 02:00 on Wednesday, 12 July 2017, Israeli forces backed by military vehicles and dozens of infantry soldiers moved into Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. They stationed in the center of the camp and then stepped out of their vehicles. They surrounded several houses to raid them and arrest some of its residents. Meanwhile, dozens of Palestinian young men and children gathered and threw stones at the soldiers, who heavily opened fire at the stone-throwers. As a result, ‘Oday Nizar Abu Na’asah (19) sustained a live bullet wound to the leg. At approximately 04:00, the Israeli forces withdrew while 2 military jeeps stationed at the western entrance to the camp. In the meantime, a motorbike driven to the western side of the camp was traveled by Sa’ed Naser ‘Abdel Fattah Salah (20) from the eastern neighborhood in Jenin, and Aws Mohammed Yousif Salamah (17), from Jenin refugee camp. When the jeeps moved the motorbike moved behind them, so the Israeli soldiers opened fire at them from a distance of 4 meters. As a result, Sa’ed was wounded and fell on the ground and Aws was also wounded and walked for 50 meters away from the motorbike before he fell on the ground. The wounded civilians were transferred to Martyr Dr. Khalil Soliman Governmental Hospital in Jenin. Medical sources said that Sa’ed arrived dead at the hospital and doctors there tried for hours to save Aws’s life, but he died succumbing to his serious wounds. Medical sources mentioned that Sa’ed was hit with two bullets to the head and left side of the chest while Aws was hit with a bullet that entered his abdomen and exited the chest. An eyewitness said that he saw 3 Israeli soldiers surrounding Sa’ed and trying to move him. Then a sound of gunshot was heard from the place.
