ONE PALESTINIAN KILLED, 3 OCCUPATION SOLDIERS INJURED IN SHOOTING
A member of Palestinian Authority security services has been killed and three Israel's occupation soldiers injured in a shooting at occupation checkpoint near the illegal Israeli colony of Beit El in central West Bank today.
It's alleged by the Israeli occupation that the killed Palestinian, Ahmad Suikari(29) had stepped out of his car and shot at the Israeli occupation soldiers before being killed.
What can be seen at the site from photographs and videos is Suikari's car at some distance from the occupation checkpoint and his body laying on the ground near the open door on the driver's side in civilian clothes.

HARES BOYS SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON BY ISRAELI OCCUPATION
Yesterday January 28th Israel's occupation forces' military court in effect took away the lives of the five young Hares boys, victims of a witch hunt and torture, whose lives had already been suspended through almost three years of captivity.
The boys were sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, with time served, after their families were put through final humiliation and were forced to ask for contributions to pay heavy fines to Israel so that the boys would not be sentenced to prison for even a longer period.
And the comment from the illegal Israeli settler, whose faulty driving on occupied area caused the accident that started the torment of the five boys? This is not enough, she wants "death sentence" to the boys.
What is this if not a death sentence, young lives ended when aged 15-16!
What is now needed is not defeatism, but solidarity action on all fronts to support the boys and demand their freedom - you can start by sharing this post - and when you boycott Israel, you now also do it for the liberty of the Hares Boys.
We share a post from the dedicated page to the boys's struggle announcing the sentence and further explaining what the Hares Boys have gone through:
THE DAY THAT JUSTICE DIED
It is now official: the five youths from Hares village will be kept locked up in a Zionist occupation prison for 15 years. They are to see freedom and hug their mothers again in 2028.
All this without any real evidence of their supposed guilt, except for "confessions" signed after torture when these boys were only 16, taken away in the middle of the night without access to a lawyer, beaten and abused by armed men in uniforms.
All this after almost 3 years going back and forth between Zionist prison and military court, where sessions were conducted in Hebrew which none of the boys speak, and where the three individuals in judge's chairs are military personnel. Of that same military that has been occupying Palestine for decades.
All this after almost 3 years of protests, demonstrations, letter-writing, petition-signing, and other forms of solidarity from good people around the globe who believe in justice.
Mohammed Kleib, Mohammed Suleiman, Ali Shamlawi, Tamer Souf, and Ammar Souf. Five beautiful boys who loved to play football and were getting ready for their school-leaving exams.
These boys' lives have been taken away from them. Five tragedies, five families that lost their sons to the Zionist system that seeks to destroy Palestine and the Palestinians. Boy by boy, mother by mother, family by family.
Thank you all. Thank you for believing in justice. Thank you for fighting for it. Thank you for standing up to zionist crimes.
Perhaps justice still has a chance.
And remember - no one of us is truly free, until all are.

ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES KILL TWO ON THURSDAY
On Thursday January 14th Israel's occupation forces on the West Bank killed two Palestinians, raising the number of Palestinians killed this year by the Israeli occupation to 14 and during the uprising to at least 158.
BEIT EINUN
Moayyad Awni Jabarin(20) from Sair was shot by Israel's occupation forces in Beit Einun junction and was left to bleed to death, with Palestinian ambulances turned away by the occupation.
According to Palestinian eye-witnesses he had no knife, was never close to the occupation soldiers and was shot "in cold blood" after Israeli soldiers failed to get a response from him after shouting insults.
When his father arrived to the scene and identified his son, his body was still on the ground. Israeli occupation forces at first claimed Jabarin's body, but later allowed Palestinian medics to take it away.
According to a representative of the Palestinian Red Crescent Orab Fuqahaa, Jabarin's life could have been saved with medical aid.
Moayyad Jabarin is the 12th resident of the village of Sair to be killed by Israel's occupation forces during the uprising.
Israel's occupation forces made the standard "tried to stab with a knife" claim. No Israeli occupation soldiers were injured.
ASIRA ASH-SHAMALIYA
Israel's occupation set up a "flying checkpoint" near the village of Asira ash-Shamaliya, which is situated close to Nablus, and shot and killed a local man Haitham Mahmoud Abd al-Jalil(31) - also identified as Haitham Mahmoud Abdul-Jaleel Yassin(36).
According to Israel's occupation forces Haitham al-Jalil / Yassin would have attacked Israel's occupation forces' military vehicle, stabbing Israeli officer and injuring him "very slightly", when Israeli occupation soldiers stepped out of the vehicle and shot him.
A knife can be seen approximately two metres away from his body in a photograph from the scene of his killing.
He was left to bleed to death on the ground, with medical aid denied from him as is the standard procedure by Israel's occupation forces.
According to one news article Haitham al-Jalil / Yassin was shot and wounded by Israel's occupation forces in the same place fourteen years ago, and was left with a permanent disability as a result of that shooting.
