(...) In a previous incident, at approximately 16:30 on Friday, 29 May 2020, IOF stationed at Raya valley area, between al-Nabi Saleh and Deir Nizam villages, in front of “Halamish” settlement, northwest of Ramallah, opened fire at a Palestinian vehicle driven by Fadi Adnan Samara Qa’d (37) from Abu Qash village, northwest of Ramallah. Qa’d was shot directly with a live bullet and left to bleed for more than two hours and half, without being given any first aid. Two hours and half later, an Israeli vehicle arrive and took Qa’d to an unknown destination. Later, Israeli Authorities announced Qa’d’s death due to Israeli forces’ shooting alleging the victim attempted to ram Israeli soldiers with his car; no casualties among soldiers were reported.
In contrast with the Israeli claims, according to information obtained by PCHR, Qa’d was driving his private Ford-Fiesta car (white) en route to al-Saweya village in Salfit to pick up his wife and 5 children from his in-law’s house. back home from their Grandfather’s house. Qa’d was met by an Israeli military vehicle parked in the street, six soldiers stepped out from the vehicle, and 3 of them ordered him to stop before he reached the military vehicle. Qa’d lost control of his car and steered his car north-bound, in the opposite direction from where the soldiers stood, and collided with a wooden bench under a tree. IOF, from a 10-meter distance, immediately opened fire at Qa’d’s car, and wounded him while he was inside. The soldiers left him to bleed for more than two hours and half, without providing any first aid, and prevented the Palestinian ambulances from approaching him. He was later taken to an unknown destination.
It should be noted that Qad’s car did not pose a threat or danger to the soldiers’ lives, and the fact it steered towards the opposite side from where soldiers stood proves the was no intent to ram them.
Après l’annonce du meurtre de Qad, des dizaines de Palestiniens du village d’al-Nabi Saleh se sont rassemblés, ont jeté des pierres sur les soldats israéliens stationnés dans la zone et des affrontements ont éclaté, ces derniers ayant répondu par des balles réelles, des bombes assourdissantes et des bombes lacrymogènes. En conséquence, Ahmed Eyad al-Tamimi (21 ans), un handicapé atteint du syndrome de Down, a reçu une balle réelle dans la jambe gauche et a été envoyé à l’hôpital arabe Istishari dans la banlieue d’al-Rihan, à Ramallah, pour y être soigné.(...)
