Israel kills a Palestinian while he was arrested in the West Bank
Israel killed more Palestinians, wounded and arrested others, in raids in most areas of the West Bank, on Saturday, which also witnessed more incursions and repressive measures, including orders to evacuate the homes and properties of Jerusalemites in East Jerusalem.
The Palestinians accused the Israeli army of executing the young man, Sari Yousef Abdel Qader Amr (25 years old), after he was shot during a raid on his house with the aim of arresting him in the town of Dura, south of Hebron.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that Amr was killed by the occupation army, which stormed his family’s home in Dura, and shot him inside, causing him critical injuries, before he was arrested while bleeding without any first aid being provided to him. His brother Suhaib (23 years old) was also arrested.
His father, Youssef Amr, said that the occupation forces fired live bullets inside the house, wounding his son Sari, as the soldiers prevented anyone from approaching him to provide treatment, before they arrested him while he was bleeding, and took him to an unknown destination. He added: “The occupation soldiers put me and my family in one of the corners of the house, and prevented us from looking back at gunpoint. After we heard the gunfire, one of the officers came and said to me: Your son is dead… and do not make any sound, or I will kill all your children.” .
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club accused the occupation forces of executing Amr during his arrest.
Israeli forces stormed Doura as part of a massive raid campaign that also affected Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and other areas. Israel arrested about 20 Palestinians during the campaign.
Amr was killed, while the Ministry of Health announced that the young man, Rami Al-Jandab (25 years old), died from critical injuries he sustained during the aggression launched by the occupation forces against Al-Far’a camp on Friday. Israel killed 6 Palestinians in confrontations in Al-Fara’a, including a child.
At dawn on Saturday, the boy Nimr Youssef Abu Mustafa was killed as a result of a bomb explosion in the Balata camp, east of Nablus, amid information that he was preparing the device to detonate it among the Israeli forces.
The Israeli invasion also affected the city of Jerusalem. A few days after the confiscation of lands in the West Bank and the closure of institutions, shops, and printing presses in more than one city, the Israeli occupation authorities, on Saturday, notified a number of Jerusalemites in the Bab al-Maghariba area, southwest of the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, of the evacuation of properties and lands with an area estimated at approximately 9 dunams in the area. In preparation for its seizure.
Jerusalemites living in the Bab al-Maghariba area reported that they were surprised when the occupation authorities posted notices calling on them to vacate properties and lands, in preparation for their seizure, and stipulating that any Jerusalemite who owns land in that area designated on maps must prove his ownership of it, and gave them 60 days to object.
The decision targets about 8,725 square meters of land and real estate.
Ziad Abu Sneineh, one of the Jerusalemites who were notified, said that the goal is to seize this land to erect columns for the Judaization cable car, which will become part of public transportation in the occupied city of Jerusalem, to increase the number of colonists moving to and from the place.
According to Fakhri Abu Diab, a specialist in settlement affairs in Jerusalem, the occupation began with a plan to resolve the issue of Jerusalem, specifically in the vicinity of the Old City, including the south of Al-Aqsa Mosque near the Mughrabi Gate, through which the cable car coming from the west of Jerusalem to its east will pass.
Abu Diab told the official Palestinian news agency: “The occupation aims to liquidate the Palestinian presence in Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings.” He explained that this project is part of a plan to displace Palestinian citizens, and keep them away from Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings through several projects, including the cable car project aimed at transporting religious people to the Buraq Wall, and “facilitating their storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
He continued, “The area is Palestinian and inhabited by Palestinian families, and the occupation was not able to make a case for building without a license, because the houses were built before 1967, and today the cable car project found an opportunity to displace them.”
There is talk of a project that allows Jews and tourists to reach the Buraq Wall very quickly. The project costs about 200 million shekels ($57 million) to transport visitors from the west of the city to its eastern sector, which was annexed by Israel. Those in charge of the project say that its goal is to reduce traffic congestion – and the pollution that accompanies it – due to the growing influx of tourists.
But the Palestinians are fighting to prevent it as a settlement project.
