23 November 2015
Today, in a historic moment in Palestinian pursuit of accountability, four Palestinian human rights organisations delivered a confidential communication to Madam Prosecutor Bensouda of the International Criminal Court on behalf of themselves and Palestinian victims of Israel’s “Operation Protective Edge”. The communication, which was submitted by Al-Haq, Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, Aldameer and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights pursuant to Article 15 of the Rome Statute, contains information on crimes jointly documented during Israel’s 2014 offensive against the Gaza Strip.

“We have become used to Israel killing and injuring Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The 2014 offensive is the third war on our people in about six years. But nothing could have fully prepared me for the devastating loss of my sons, grandsons and granddaughters in an attack against our family home.” said Bouthaineh Al Louh, a Palestinian 57-year old grieving mother. “On 20 August 2014 at 04.45am, Israel attacked our home in Deir al Balah whilst my family was fast asleep. My son and two stepsons were killed in the attack, as well as my nine months pregnant daughter-in-law and her three children. Our family will never again be complete, and our house is in ruins. I hope that the ICC can acknowledge the crimes that we endured and punish those that deprived us of our loved ones”.

Speaking from The Hague, Mr. Shawan Jabarin (Al-Haq Director) said that, “We have provided the Office of the Prosecutor with enough information for it to determine that there is a reasonable basis to believe that senior Israeli military and civilian officials committed crimes against humanity and war crimes during the offensive against Gaza. We are confident that the information now at the disposal of the Office of the Prosecutor is sufficient to open an investigation, and urge her to act quickly to begin a formal investigation.”

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian was shot and killed near the illegal Israeli settlement of Kfar Adumim in the central occupied West Bank on Sunday, after the Palestinian, driving a taxi, ran into another car on a main road, an Israeli police spokesperson said.

Micky Rosenfeld said after the car incident, a Palestinian in a Palestinian taxi “walked out his vehicle with a knife in his hand and was shot dead.”

Rosenfeld said he was not aware whether the Palestinian was shot by a civilian or by Israeli forces. He added that the area had been cordoned off, without adding further detail.

It is unclear if the car crash was an attack or an accident, however following the incident, an Israeli settler said the Palestinian exited the car wielding a knife. Hebrew media reported an Israeli settler then shot the Palestinian dead at the scene.

Israeli sources identified the Palestinian as Shadi Hassib , 32, from al-Bireh city, near Ramallah. [ Updated: Nov. 22, 2015 12:53 P.M.]

Israeli news site Ynet reported that the Israeli settler “was lightly wounded, suffering a scratch to his hand,” adding that it was unclear whether the scratch came from the car crash or the alleged attempted stabbing attack.

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli forces shot and killed a young Palestinian man in the village of Beit Einun east of Hebron after an alleged stabbing attempt, Palestinian and Israeli sources said.

An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that Israeli forces shot the Palestinian after he allegedly attempted to stab an Israeli soldier during a “violent riot” in the village. The spokesperson said no Israelis were injured.

A paramedic from the Red Crescent said Israeli forces would not allow their medics to examine the young man.

“Israeli soldiers forced us at gunpoint to leave the area,” the paramedic said. “From the amount of bleeding, the young man must have been shot several times.”

A Palestinian witness told Ma’an he saw Israeli troops firing several rounds at a “young man” who was “far” from the main street. The witness said the young man fell to the ground before Israeli soldiers surrounded him.

Israeli soldiers covered the body with black plastic before taking the body away in a military ambulance to unknown destination, witnesses said.

Witnesses added that Israeli forces also assaulted journalists who tried to come close to scene, forcing them to leave the area.

The death of the unidentified Palestinian brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the start of last month to 70.

(...) At approximately 13:30 on Sunday, 25 October 2015, in a new cold-blooded crime, Israeli Border Guards officers stationed at the entrance of the Ibrahimi Mosque, south of Hebron’s Old City, killed Dania Jehad Ersheid (17) , from al-Hawooz area. They opened fire at her when she stopped to have her school bag searched. Ersheid’s corpse was taken to an unknown destination.

According to investigations conducted by PCHR and statement of an eyewitness, at approximately 13:30, Ersheid entered the Ibrahimi Mosque’s yard through a metal detector gate fixed between the aforementioned yard and the old market in the city. She obeyed the soldiers’ orders to be searched in the place where she was asked to stay. While one of the soldiers standing behind a desk was searching the girl’s school bag, a number of Border Guard officers gathered around her. Ersheid was standing behind an iron barrier erected by Israeli soldiers to allow persons subjected to searching pass through it. The soldier, who was searching the bag, asked the girl, “Where is the knife? Where is the knife?” The girl replied, “I do not have a knife,” and put her hands up. She was extremely frightened. An officer fired a bullet around Ersheid, whereas the bullet hit the wall behind her. She moved few steps backwards putting her hands up, but a number of bullets were fired at her. As a result, she fell to the ground and died. The girl did not pose any threat to the security and lives of Israeli soldiers. She was even putting her hands up when the soldier was talking to her and accused her of having a knife. Furthermore, the area, where the girl was killed, was reinforced and backed-up. The Israeli forces could have arrested her instead of killing her if she posed any threat to them.

JENIN (Ma’an) — A Palestinian youth was shot dead Saturday near al-Jalama military checkpoint north of Jenin in the occupied West Bank after he allegedly attempted to stab an Israeli security guard, eyewitnesses and the Israeli army said.

Eyewitnesses told Ma’an that “there were no stabbing attempts” at the time that Israeli forces opened fire at a 16-year-old Palestinian at the crossing.

The forces then dragged the injured youth inside of the checkpoint preventing Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances from reaching him for treatment, eyewitnesses added.

The teen was identified as Ahmad Muhammad Said Kamil from Jenin.

An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that “an attempted stabbing was thwarted at the Gilboa crossing,” using an alternate name for the checkpoint, where “security personnel” shot and killed the suspect to prevent an attack.

The spokesperson was unable to confirm any injuries and said the Israeli military was currently investigating the incident. The crossing has since been closed.

The teen’s death at the northern border of the occupied West Bank marks at least 55 Palestinians killed since the beginning of the month.

Third Palestinian shot dead after alleged attacks in Hebron, Jerusalem

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian teen was shot dead Saturday by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron after allegedly stabbing an Israeli border police officer in the third alleged attack of the day.

Palestinian locals said that Israeli forces opened fire at the woman close to the the Wadi al-Ghrus area near the illegal Kiryat Arba settlement.

The teen was identified as 17-year-old Bayan Ayman Abd al-Hadi al-Esseili .

Her family told Ma’an they were informed by Israeli authorities that their daughter had been killed after she stabbed a soldier.

A border police woman sustained light injuries to her hand, according to Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld, who reported that a “female terrorist was shot at the scene.”

Fadil Qawasmi , 18, was shot dead by an Israeli settler earlier Saturday morning on Shuhada Street in Hebron’s Old City, hours before a 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead in occupied East Jerusalem.

Both teens were shot dead for carrying out alleged attacks. No Israelis were injured in either incident.

As Palestinians may only access Shuhada Street by passing through an Israeli military checkpoint with a metal detector, suspicions are being raised as to whether Qawasmi could have been carrying a knife at the time of the alleged attack.

Local Palestinians are prevented from accessing the street in order to “secure” the area for around 600 Jewish settlers who have taken over homes and evicted residents in the area. The few Palestinian residents left living in the area must access homes from the back.

Saturday’s attacks have brought the total number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of the month to 40. Seven Israelis have been killed by Palestinians in the same time period.

Des affrontements ont éclaté dimanche matin sur l’esplanade des Mosquées dans la vieille ville de Jérusalem entre la police israélienne et des musulmans. Ces heurts ont eu lieu à quelques heures de la célébration de la nouvelle année juive.

Selon des témoins musulmans, les policiers israéliens sont entrés dans la mosquée Al-Aqsa, troisième lieu de l’islam, et provoqué des dégâts. Une porte-parole de la police, Luba Samri, a démenti cette information, en précisant que les forces l’ordre s’étaient contentées de fermer la porte d’accès.

Ces affrontements sont survenus au moment où la tension est montée autour de l’esplanade des Mosquées (le Mont du Temple pour les juifs) à la suite de la décision du ministre israélien de la Défense Moshe Yaalon, qui a déclaré mercredi « illégal » le mouvement des « mourabitoun », un groupe musulman en grande partie informel qui affirme défendre l’esplanade des Mosquées.

The clashes came with tensions running high after Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon last week outlawed two Muslim groups that protect the mosque, and confront Jewish visitors to the compound, which is holy to both faiths.

Witnesses told Ma’an that Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound Sunday morning, firing rubber-coated steel bullets and stun grenades and injuring several worshipers.

Witnesses said Israeli forces stormed the compound through the Chain and Moroccan gates shortly after dawn prayer.

The forces then surrounded worshipers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque and closed its doors with “chains and bars” before they started to fire rubber-coated bullets inside the mosque, witnesses said.

At approximately 10:00 and while passing the checkpoint, his car approached the soldiers, who were searching Palestinian cars, and then an Israeli soldier stationed in an observation tower established at the checkpoint opened fire at him. As a result, Hammad was wounded with two bullets to the abdomen and left thigh. The Israeli soldiers forced the civilians who were in the area to stay meters away from the checkpoint and prevented them from approaching the wounded person. At approximately 11:20, an ambulance crew belonging to the ICRC from Tubas arrived at the scene, but the Israeli soldiers prevented them from approaching the wounded person and closed the checkpoint for more than two hours. Meanwhile, the Israeli soldiers brought a robot which pulled the corpse and took it to an unknown destination. At approximately 15:00, the corpse was given to his elder brother, Zuhair (33), from an Israeli camp I “Meswah” settlement established on the lands of al-Jaftalak, north of Jericho. It should be noted that the Israeli forces continued to keep the victim’s car.

At approximately 13:30, Israeli forces moved into al-’Oja village. They raided and searched the house of the victim’s family. A number of young men and boys gathered and threw stones at the Israeli vehicles, and the Israeli soldiers in response fired sound bombs and tear gas canisters at them.

Israeli forces shoot, kill Palestinian in Jenin camp
▻http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=765876

JENIN (Ma’an) – Israeli forces shot dead a young Palestinian man in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank early Wednesday morning, Palestinian security sources say.

Izz al-Din Walid Bani Gharra , 21, was shot in the chest during clashes with Israeli forces who raided the camp at dawn. He was evacuated to the public hospital in Jenin where he died shortly after, sources told Ma’an.

An Israeli army spokesperson did not have information on the incident and an Israeli border police spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment.

Gharra is the twelfth Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces in occupied East Jerusalem, West Bank, and Gaza since the start of 2015, according to UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, with over 900 injured, not including injuries resulting from settler violence.

One Israeli has been killed in the same time period.

Search and arrest raids are regular practice by Israeli forces, who have conducted a weekly average of 86 raids this year, up from 75 a week in 2015, according to a May report by UN Special Coordinator (UNSCO).

Such raids often result in what rights groups argue is excessive use of force by Israeli forces against locals who often throw rocks and bottles at the forces.
