    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoon after she allegedly attempted to carry out a stabbing attack, Israeli police said.

    Israeli police spokeswoman Luba al-Samri initially said in a statement that the woman attempted to stab police officers at the Old City’s Damascus Gate, only to be “neutralized” by the Israeli forces — a term commonly used by Israeli officials to indicate that an alleged attacker has either been wounded or killed.

    Moments later, the spokeswoman confirmed that the Palestinian woman had been killed. Al-Samri added that no Israeli officers had been injured in the altercation.

    The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the slain Palestinian woman as 49-year-old Siham Ratib Nimr , from East Jerusalem. Al-Samri specified that Nimr was from the northern East Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras Khamis, which is cut off from the rest of the city by Israel’s illegal separation wall.

    Witness told Ma’an that the Nimr was walking with her daughter in the entrance to Damascus Gate, and that an altercation occurred once they came close to Israeli police officers.

    The witnesses said that an Israeli border police officer shot Nimr at point-blank range in the chest and lower extremities, and that Israeli police forcibly prevented an Israeli paramedic from approaching the woman, “leaving her to bleed to death.”

    The eyewitnesses added that Israeli forces then completely sealed off the area, preventing Palestinians from using the entrance to the Old City.

    Israeli forces reportedly also assaulted young Palestinian men who were in the area.

      Jérusalem - Une Palestinienne, qui avait tenté d’attaquer mercredi des policiers israéliens avec une paire de ciseaux, a été tuée par balles à une entrée de la vieille ville de Jérusalem-Est, selon une nouvelle version de la police.

      Dans un premier temps, une porte-parole de la police avait affirmé que cette Palestinienne avait brandi un couteau.

      Selon la police, cette femme, qui sortait de la vieille ville de Jérusalem par la porte de Damas, s’est approchée de policiers et a sorti une paire de ciseaux. Les policiers ont alors ouvert le feu dans sa direction, a ajouté la porte-parole.

      Aucun policier n’a été blessé, selon elle.

      Selon le ministère palestinien de la Santé, la Palestinienne tuée s’appelait Siham Nimr . Agée de 49 ans, elle était résidente du camp de réfugiés de Shouafat à Jérusalem-Est, occupée et annexée.

      Des médias palestiniens ont précisé qu’elle était la mère de Mustafa Nimr, un Palestinien de 27 ans tué par la police israélienne en septembre dernier à Shouafat.

      Dans un premier temps, la police l’avait présenté comme l’auteur d’une agression avant de reconnaître qu’il s’agissait d’une erreur.

      (...) In a new crime of wilful killings, on 29 March 2017, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian civilian identified as Siham Rateb Nemer (49) after opening fire at her when she was entering the Damascus Gate (Bab al-‘Amoud) in occupied Jerusalem. Israeli forces claimed as usual that the abovementioned woman attempted to stab an Israeli soldier. However, PCHR’s investigations refuted those claims. It should be mentioned that Siham is the mother of Mustafa Nemer, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers on 05 September 2016 when he was driving a car along with his relative on ‘Anata Street in Sho’afat refugee camp, northeast of occupied Jerusalem. As a result, he was killed and his relative was wounded.(...)

    • B’Tselem: Killing of Palestinian woman in Jerusalem ’unjustified’

      BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli human rights NGO B’Tselem released a report on Tuesday, condemning Israeli forces for the “unjustified” killing of a Palestinian woman in Jerusalem last week.

      Israeli police said at the time that 49-year-old Siham Nimr attempted to stab police officers with a pair of scissors at the Damascus Gate entrance to occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City, only to be “neutralized” by the Israeli border police — a term commonly used by Israeli officials to indicate that an alleged attacker has either been wounded or killed. No Israeli officers were injured in the altercation.

      It was later revealed that the slain woman was the mother of 27-year-old Mustafa Nimr, who was killed by Israeli forces in September during a night raid in occupied East Jerusalem’s Shufat refugee camp.

      According to B’Tselem, after Siham approached a metal police barrier near Damascus Gate, brandishing a pair of scissors, border police officers standing on the other side of the barrier shot and killed her. Included in their report was a picture from a security camera in the area, released by Israeli police, purporting to show Siham holding up the scissors while standing behind the police barrier.(...)

      JERUSALEM (Ma’an) — Dozens of Palestinians took part on Wednesday night in the funeral of Siham Ratib Nimr, a Palestinian woman who was killed by Israeli forces last month after attempting to carry out a stabbing attack in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem.

      Nimr, a 49-year-old resident of the northern East Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras Khamis, was killed by Israeli police on March 29 after she attempted to stab police officers with a pair of scissors at the Old City’s Damascus Gate. No Israelis were injured in the case.

      Nimr was the mother of Mustafa Nimr, a 27-year-old Palestinian who was killed by Israeli forces “by mistake” in September during a night raid in the Jerusalem-area Shufaat refugee camp.

      Palestinian Red Crescent staff said that they received Nimr’s body at a military base near the village of Anata in the Jerusalem district of the occupied West Bank, before taking her remains to Shufaat refugee camp, her hometown.
