ONE KILLED BY ISRAEL DURING KIDNAPPING OF PATIENT FROM OCCUPIED HEBRON HOSPITAL

ONE KILLED BY ISRAEL DURING KIDNAPPING OF PATIENT FROM OCCUPIED HEBRON HOSPITAL

At 04:00 on Thursday morning between 16-21 undercover members of Israel's occupation forces entered Hebron's al-Ahli hospital's surgery unit to kidnap Azzam Ezzat Shalaldah(20), who had been shot in chest and head and critically wounded by illegal Israeli settler on 25 Oct, who claimed that Azzam Shalaldah had "stabbed" him.

The 58 y/o illegal Israeli settler suffered "light injury" in that alleged incident; according to eye-witnesses Azzam was not the man who injured the illegal Israeli settler and had been only working nearby field, where illegal Israeli settlers had entered after the "stabbing".

The occupation forces had dressed themselves as Palestinians; some pretended to be elderly, one a pregnant woman. This kind of behaviour by occupation forces', the use of civilian clothes, borders on war crime. 

Entering Azzam's room, Israel's occupation forces hand-cuffed Azzam's brother who was present in the room and shot their cousin Abdullah Azzam Shalaldah(27 or 28) four times as he entered the room, returning from a bathroom visit. 

He died on the scene from wounds in head and chest and the occupation forces took Azzam with them, who himself - based on an unconfirmed claim - might have been shot and wounded again during the attack by Israel's occupation forces.

Israel's occupation forces' representative has tried to "justify" the killing by claiming that members of Shalaldah family "are well-known Hamas operatives".

Abdullah Shalaldah left behind his 1 y/o son, Azzam.

3 PALESTINIAN YOUTHS, 2 ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS KILLED AND AT LEAST 111 PALESTINIANS WOUNDED DURING FRIDAY


3 PALESTINIAN YOUTHS, 2 ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS KILLED AND AT LEAST 111 PALESTINIANS WOUNDED DURING FRIDAY

Friday has seen the wounding of at least 154 Palestinians and the death of 3 Palestinian youths and 2 illegal Israeli settlers. Of the wounded most were wounded on the West Bank and up to 18 in besieged Gaza Strip.

Friday is the traditional day for weekly protests in many villages and small towns, even during the uprising which has seen 21 people imprisoned from the small village of Nabi Saleh - which has been a site of weekly protest march for years - alone.

The first death of the day was another casualty to the Shalaldah family from the Sair village:

Issa Shalaldah(aged 17, 18 or 22 according to different sources; in some sources his name is given as Mahmud Shalaldah) was shot and wounded on Thursday after the funeral of his relative Abdullah Shalaldah in Sair village and died from massive damage to his internal organs on Friday.

Both Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders have condemned the Israeli occupation invasion of al-Ahli hospital in Hebron, in which Abdullah Shalaldah was killed. His death was an 'extrajudicial execution' according to Amnesty.

Hassan Jihad al-Baw(22 or 23) was shot in heart during clashes with the Israeli occupation in Halhoul during the afternoon. He died immediately. 

A few hours later Lafi Yusif Awad(22) was shot in abdomen during Israel's occupation forces' invasion of the village of Budrus. He arrived to Ramallah hospital in critical condition and soon died of his wounds.

The two illegal Israeli settlers, a man aged 40 and his 18 y/o son, were either shot in their car or died when it crashed - allegedly as a result of being shot - from a road near the illegal Israeli colony of Otniel south of Hebron and west of Yatta.

At least one person aged 16 y/o was "lightly" injured, possibly two were. The supposed shooter escaped the scene unharmed.

Its claimed that two youngest children in the car would have been deliberately avoided as target by the supposed shooter. Like many other details, this is unconfirmed.

At the entrance to the village of Beit Ummar there was a failed attempt by an illegal Israeli settler driver to run over three youths.

ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES HAVE INVADED NABLUS AND SILWAD TO DESTROY HOMES

As the world's eyes are on Paris' tragic events, Israel is destroying Palestinian homes in Nablus and Silwad on the occupied West Bank.

Two of the homes in Nablus have been identified of belonging to political prisoners Akram Al-Masri and Yahya Haj Hamad.

Three explosions have so far shaken Nablus. Bulldozers are also being used by the Israeli occupation forces, which are facing resistance from the local youths.

11 Palestinians have been wounded, one has been run over by an Israeli occupation forces' jeep in Nablus. Israel's occupation forces are shooting at ambulances and stopping their crews from reaching the wounded, some of which are still to be said in the home of Yahya Haj Hamad.

4 PALESTINIANS KILLED DURING LAST THREE DAYS BY ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES, EGYPT'S NAVY

On Wednesday afternoon Egypt's navy opened fire at Palestinian fishing boat off the southern part of
besieged Gaza's coast, hitting 16 or 18 y/o Firas Mohammad Miqdad from Rafah. Miqdad, who was fishing with his father, was wounded in abdomen and killed as a result of his wounds. No reason or even excuse for the killing has been given. 

On Thursday 25 y/o Malik Talal al-Shareef was shot and killed southwest of Bethlehem on the occupied West Bank near the illegal Israeli Gush Etzion colony bloc, allegedly for "trying to stab a soldier". No evidence for this has been given, no member of Israel's occupation forces have been set to have been injured.


The killed young man was a former anchor for children's show in local Hebron Radio. 


On Friday afternoon Israel's occupation forces shot fifteen times at the car of a 72 or 75 y/o woman named either Tharwat or Sarwa Ibrahim al-Sharawi at petrol station near Halhul on occupied West Bank. Some bullets or pieces of shattered glas from al-Sharawi's car also hit two nearby youths, wounding them.


The elderly al-Sharawi was claimed by Israel to have tried to run over Israel's occupation forces soldiers, but no evidence of this has been shown and none of the occupation soldiers present were injured. 


After at first denied medical care (Palestinian ambulances were turned away) while Israel's occupation forces attacked civilians and journalists at the scene with sound bombs and tear gas, al-Sharawi was taken away in an Israeli ambulance but either died in the way to hospital or in the hospital.


Her husband Fouad was killed by Israel's occupation forces during the First Intifada. According to al-Sharawi's son, she had been on her way to have lunch with her sister.

Soon after Israel's occupation forces shot and killed 23 y/o Salameh Moussa Abu Jame during a protest in besieged Gaza.

Only in US can Kim Stanley Robinson be called a centre-left writer. Just look at Red Mars - the main character is a White Male US Hero directly from The Right Stuff movie, who gets betrayed by a jealous black US man who lost him in career, love and fame and gets the White Male US Hero killed by Arabs.

White Male US Hero's half-Asian son in the later novels is described negatively for wanting to save the pristine landscape of Mars while fighting for its independence for which he dies. In the third generation the White Male US Hero's grand-daughter, now only 1/4 Asian and shown to have more of the character of the late White Male US Hero, is portrayed more positively. It tells a lot about the nature of most of science fiction in US - far-right, right-wing anarchism - that a right-winger like Robinson, who goes out of his way to deny Climate Change (its volcanoes under the Arctic) as a reason for flooding of Earth in the last Mars novel, can appear a man of the left, even if only of the centre-left variety.

In the trilogy now abridged as Green Earth he gave up on the Climate Change denial but out of the US of A he is not a progressive author. A very similar case is David Brin, a man of the centre in United States and moderate right-winger everywhere else.
