    The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed, Tuesday, that a Palestinian teenager has died from Israeli fire, near Salfit, in the central West Bank, after the army claimed he attempted to stab soldiers.

    The teen, identified as Atallah Mohammad Rayan , 17, from Qarawat Bani Hassan town, northwest of Salfit, was shot dead by Israeli forces after he allegedly attempted to stab a soldier at Giti Avishar junction near the illegal Ariel colony.

    Israel’s Haaretz quoted the army alleging that the Palestinian “arrived at Giti Avishar junction and tried to stab a squad commander and a female soldier at the junction,” before a soldier and the Palestinian “briefly wrestled after he tried to stab her a few times before the commander killed him.”

    The reported incident did not lead to any injuries among the soldiers, while the army said “it is investigating the attack.”

    The Palestinian WAFA News Agency has reported that the teen was shot with several rounds, while soldiers made no attempt to provide first aid, and the child was left to bleed out until he succumbed to his wounds.

    According to eyewitness testimony.

    “At around 11:30 a young Palestinian man was crossing the roadblock, soldiers attacked and shot him, they hit him, he scuffled with soldiers after they fired at him, they forced him on the ground, then they hit him on his head with their guns, most likely this is what killed the young man, because they struck him on the head multiple times, they busted his head open, they shot and injured him first, then beat him to the ground and assaulted him and hit him on his head, this is what killed him.”

    After killing the young man, the soldiers invaded Qarawat Bani Hassan, the hometown of the slain Palestinian, leading to protests. (...)

      https://www.pchrgaza.org/en/weekly-report-on-israeli-human-rights-violations-in-the-occupied-palestini

      (...) On Tuesday, 26 January 2021, IOF killed a Palestinian child on ‘Aber al-Samera Street near Haris village intersection, north of Salfit, under the pretext that he attempted to stab an Israeli female soldier. PCHR’s investigations points out that IOF could have controlled the child by using less lethal force.

      According to PCHR’s investigations, at approximately 11:30, while the child was walking on ‘Aber al-Samera street, few meters away from the vehicles lane, female and male soldiers were walking in front of him heading to a military checkpoint established on the street, 20 meters away. Verbal altercation erupted between the two soldiers and the child and then developed to a fist fight. Few moments later, a third soldier present in the area intervened and shot the child, wounding him directly. A number of Israeli soldiers gathered around the child who fell on the ground, beat him with gun butts and left him to bleed out without providing first aid until he succumbed to his wounds. Forty minutes later, the soldiers took him via an Israeli ambulance to an unknown destination.

      The Israeli spokesperson said that a Palestinian child attempted to stab a female soldier several times before the soldiers neutralized him. It should be noted that Israeli authorities did not publish any video corroborating the incident, despite that there were cameras in the area. It was found later that the victim is ‘ Atallah Mohammed Rayan (17) , from Qarawat Bani Hassan village, west of Salfit. PCHR’s fieldworker said that Rayan is a senior high school student and he used to head to his father’s marble factory in Rujeib village after returning from school. PCHR points out that IOF could have controlled the child without killing him, and that even if the Israeli claims were true, the child did not pose threat to the lives of the soldiers who could have controlled him, arrested him and used less lethal force against him without killing him and leaving him to bleed out without providing first aid, despite the presence of an Israeli medical crew.

      At approximately 17:00, IOF backed by military vehicles moved into Qarawat Bani Hassan village, west of Salfit. They raided and searched Rayan’s house and interrogated all the family members. During which, IOF informed Rayan’s family that he attempted to stab a female soldier; Rayan’s family denied having any information about the incident or that their son intended to carry out a stab attack, expressing their shock to what happened to him. During the IOF incursion into the village, Palestinian young men threw stones at IOF and clashes erupted between them. IOF fired rubber bullets and teargas canisters at the young men; no casualties were reported. (...)

    • Your Son’s Life Is Over

      https://imemc.org/article/your-sons-life-is-over

      « La vie de votre fils est finie », tels sont les mots exacts qu’un responsable militaire israélien a utilisés pour informer la famille d’un adolescent palestinien tué que leur fils a été tué par un soldat à la jonction de Giti Avishar, près de la colonie illégale d’Ariel, en Cisjordanie occupée.

      Alors qu’un soldat, une recrue britannique de l’armée d’occupation israélienne, téléphonait à ses parents à Londres pour leur dire que, bien qu’elle ait été présente lors de l’attaque présumée, elle allait bien et n’avait pas été blessée, l’armée appelait la famille de l’adolescent palestinien assassiné, Atallah Mohammad Harb Rayyan , 17 ans, pour les informer que leur fils avait été tué.

      L’Intifada électronique a déclaré que le soldat, identifié comme « L » par l’armée et les médias israéliens - a dit « je l’ai frappé avec mon arme », et qu’"il a fait des allers et retours entre moi et mon commandant, en essayant de nous poignarder".

      Il a également cité le Jerusalem Post qui identifie « L. » comme un soldat isolé de Londres dans l’armée israélienne. La publication semble nommer « L. » comme Lian Harush dans la légende de l’image principale de l’article - la même image de « L. » affichée par l’armée israélienne.

      C’est comme ça, une personne qui est venue de Londres pour devenir un soldat servant dans l’armée qui occupe illégalement la Palestine tue des enfants, détruit des maisons et des terres, doit être toujours prête à tirer sur ce qui est perçu comme une « cible légitime », et s’assurer qu’elle dit à sa famille « qu’elle va bien ».

      « La vie de votre fils est finie », c’est ce qu’a dit l’armée à la famille d’Atallah lors d’un court appel téléphonique sans concession.

  • Former Political Prisoner Dies From Cancer That Went Untreated In Prison
    Jan 12, 2021 – – IMEMC News
    https://imemc.org/article/former-political-prisoner-dies-from-cancer-that-went-untreated-in-prison

    The Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Committee has reported that a young Palestinian man who was only released from Israeli detention camps a few months ago, had died, on Monday evening, from cancer that went untreated while he was held captive.

    The Committee stated that Mohammad Eyada Salahuddin, 20, from Hizma town, east of the occupied Palestinian capital Jerusalem, has died from cancer, and added that he was diagnosed while in Israeli prisons, but the occupation authorities failed to provide him with the necessary specialized medical treatment.

    It added that Israel released the young man only a few months ago, after it became clear that his condition was profoundly serious when cancer spread to several parts of his body.

    The Committee also said that it fought for his release by filing many appeals with Israeli courts, before the detainee’s condition witnessed a serious deterioration, and held Israel responsible for his death.

    Qadri Abu Bakr, the head of the Detainees Committee, said Israel deliberately and callously denied the urgently needed specialized medical treatment to the detainee and added that Mohammad’s death was nothing short of a premeditated crime.

    On its part, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) issued a statement mourning the detainee and stating that he is among a long list of detainees who because seriously ill in Israeli prisons and died shortly after their release, due to Israel’s deliberate medical neglect policies against the Palestinian political prisoners.

    He added that many detainees have recently been diagnosed with cancer, and are denied specialized medical attention.

    It is worth mentioning that Salahuddin was taken prisoner in April of 2019, and was sentenced to two years in prison. In July of 2020, he was officially diagnosed with cancer while in prison.

    There are at least 700 detainees in Israeli prisons who suffer from various health conditions, including 270 who have serious illnesses, such and liver and kidney diseases, and twelve who have cancer.

  • Updated: Israeli Forces Kill A Young Palestinian Man Near Hebron

    On Tuesday, Israeli forces shot and killed a 24-year-old Palestinian, identified as ‘ Aahed Abdul-Rahman Mahmoud Ekhlayyel , 24, from Beit Ummar village, near the military base of Gush Etzion, in the southern part of the West Bank.

    The Israeli soldiers claimed that Ekhlayyel had attempted to carry out a stabbing attack, but offered no evidence to support this claim.

    After killing Ekhlayyel and holding his body, the Israeli military imposed a closure on the entire village of Beit Ummar, forcing all of the Palestinian residents to remain indoors, and preventing anyone from entering or leaving the village.

    A squadron of Israeli soldiers then invaded the village and issued warrants for all the members of the Ekhlayyel family to come to Gush Etzion military base for interrogation.

    According to a statement by the Israeli military, “(A) community security officer spotted a suspect approaching the junction. Following their suspicion, the security officer and a soldier operated to stop the suspect by firing into the air. The suspect then threw a knife, and the officer responded with live fire, neutralizing the suspect.”

    Israeli forces frequently accuse Palestinians of knife attacks after killing them and have been known to plant knives on the bodies of dead Palestinians on a number of occasions.

    The army closed the Gush Etzion junction to all Palestinian traffic after killing the young man.

    After killing the young man, Israeli soldiers invaded Beit Ummar, before storming his family’s home and searching it.

    The soldiers also summoned his family for interrogation in the Etzion military base and security center, north of Hebron, and closed the iron gate at the main entrance of Beit Ummar, in addition to preventing the Palestinians from entering or leaving it.

    The army said it does not intend to transfer his corpse to his family for burial.

    It is worth mentioning that, less than a month ago, Ekhlayyel opened a candy store to support his family.
