UPDATE ON ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES' DEADLY INVASION OF QALANDIA REFUGEE CAMP

UPDATE ON ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES' DEADLY INVASION OF QALANDIA REFUGEE CAMP

Ahmed Hassan Jahjouh(20 or 21) and Hikmat Hamdan(25 or 29) - in some sources Hikmat Hamdan Abzaa - were killed in Israel's occupation forces invasion of the Qalandia refugee camp early on Wednesday December 16. (Some early sources had indicated the attack would have happened very late on Tuesday.)

Four other Palestinians were wounded, one of them was shot in abdomen and the rest were wounded in their "lower limbs" - legs.

On 26 August 2013 Ahmed Jahjouh's relative, Younis Jahjouh(22), was one of three people killed during a similar invasion by the Israeli occupation. 

Israel's occupation forces claim that Hamdan would have been "running" - we assume "speeding" - in his car towards Israel's occupation soldiers, possibly on a checkpoint and that Jahjouh would have "rammed" his car at Israel's occupation force soldiers, and that three would have supposedly have been injured.

Considering the damage to Jahjouh's car, its unlikely that human beings could survive with just "light" to "moderate" injuries if they would have really been hit by the car and the damage to its windows are revealing - windows on all other sides except the front-shield have shattered in gunfire. 

One source quotes an eye-witness claiming that the latter vehicular attack attempt did happen - or at least the eye-witness interpreted it as such. Of Hamdan's death there are no details beyond those of above.

Ahmed Jahjouh was shot from a distance of three meters and left to bleed without medical help until he died, after which Israel's occupation force soldiers took his body away.

He was a second year college student and volunteered at a media centre. Hikmat Hamdan was from al-Bireh.

During this invasion Israel's occupation forces targeted homes of youths killed during the uprising, but also went on a rampage attacking shops and Tammam Medical Centre, causing damage and stealing money.

Considering the above - which is either a result of a deliberate policy of pillage against rules of war or indiscipline among the Israeli occupation forces, claims about the deaths of Jahjouj and Hamdan coming from the occupation carry little weight.
