    Israeli soldiers killed, on Wednesday at night, a Palestinian security officer near the town of Tal, south of Nablus, in northern West Bank, after the army claimed he opened fire at the soldiers.

    Palestinian sources have confirmed that the slain man, an officer with the Palestinian Intelligence Service, has been identified as Mohammad Omar Sa’id Najjar , 36, from the Ras al-Ein area in Nablus city.

    According to the army, the Palestinian drove his car to a military roadblock and opened fire at the soldiers, wounding two, before they shot him.

    The army closed the entire area after declaring it a closed military zone, and forced the Palestinians away, before an Israeli ambulance arrived at the scene, provided treatment to the wounded soldiers, and took them to a hospital.

    Palestinian medics also rushed to the area, but the soldiers refused to allow them through to provide treatment to the Palestinian who apparently was still in a serious condition. The corpse of the slain officer remained with the army.

    It is worth mentioning that the soldiers initiated extensive invasions into surrounding Palestinian areas.

    In related news, the soldiers invaded, on Wednesday evening, the towns of Zeita, Nazlet Issa, and Baqa ash-Sharqiya, near the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem, and attacked Palestinian protesters, wounding five with live fire in their limbs.

    Illegal Israeli colonialist settlers also fired live rounds at Palestinian shepherds in the Masafer Yatta area, south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron.


    In the Gaza Strip, Israel continued its offensive and assassinated a senior leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, identified as Bassem Issa , also leading to the death of other Palestinians.

      Coinciding with the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, Yesterday afternoon, 11 May 2021, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed a Palestinian and wounded another after targeting their car while crossing Za’tara military checkpoint, southeast of Nablus, north of the West Bank. IOF alleged that the 2 Palestinians refused to obey the soldiers’ orders and stop, raising suspicions that they would carry out an attack at the checkpoint. As a result, IOF opened fire at them, killing one of them and wounding another. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) refuted the Israeli claims, as the vehicle was moving very slowly before IOF directly opened fire at the driver and the person next to him for 3 minutes; additionally, IOF left them bleeding for 15 minutes without providing them aid.

      According to PCHR’s investigations, at approximately 18:39, on Tuesday, 11 May 2021, IOF stationed at Za’tara military checkpoint, southeast of Nablus, opened fire from a close range at a Palestinian white Skoda car travelled by 2 persons while crossing the checkpoint from Ramallah heading to Nablus. As a result, the driver was seriously wounded and the person next to him was killed. When the driver was wounded, he opened the car’s door and stayed in his seat bleeding for 15 minutes until an Israeli ambulance arrived and took them to one of the Israeli hospitals.

      Later, the targeted persons were identified as Ahmed Abdul Fattah Daraghmah (38), a father of 4 children, was killed when several bullets penetrated his head, chest, abdomen and legs, and Mohammed Ali al-Nobani (28), was wounded with 6 bullets in his shoulder and legs, and his condition was described as serious. Daraghmah and al-Nobani are from al-Lubban al-Sharqiya village, southeast of Nablus, and both were officers at the Palestinian Intelligence Services in Ramallah.

      IOF claimed that the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint shouted at the driver and ordered him to stop but he did not obey their orders, which raised suspicions that they intended to carry out a run-over attack at the checkpoint. As a result, IOF opened fire at them, killed Daraghmah and wounded al-Nobani. However, PCHR and eyewitnesses refuted the IOF’s claims.

      At approximately 23:00, IOF handed Daraghmah’s body to a Palestinian ambulance at Za’tara checkpoint, and his body was referred to Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus, while al-Nobani was still at Beilinson Hospital in Israel receiving treatment, and his health condidtion is serious.

      PCHR condemned the killing of Daraghmah and injury of al-Nobani, and emphasized this incident is part of IOF’s recurrent policy to use excessive force and live ammunition in order to kill rather than to control the suspects, especially at the checkpoints and near the areas where IOF is usually stationed.
