THREE TEENS AGED 16 KILLED ON MONDAY BY THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION
The tragedies that befall occupied Palestine's youth today are often rooted in family histories; during the long occupation old tragedies have become the seeds of new ones.
After months in coma after being shot in head by Israel's occupation forces, Mahmoud Awad died aged 22 on November 28th 2013.
Almost two years later, today, his younger sister Hadeel Wajih Awad, aged 15 or 16, and her 14 y/o her cousin Norhan Awad tried to stab with scissors, in an apparent error, an elderly Palestinian man in occupied East Jerusalem, lightly injuring him and another man trying to stop them.
Escaping the scene, they were cornered by Israel's occupation forces, which - or in some versions, "security guards" - shot them both several times, including when they were already on the ground.
Hadeel died on the scene, her cousin Norhan is in critical condition in hospital after having been shot twice in stomach and a stray bullet hit an illegal Israeli settler, injuring him slightly in hand.
Two later incidents also took the lives of 16 y/o youths:
In a gas station near Ramallah, along Route 443 on occupied West Bank, 16 y/o Ahmed Jamal Taha approached and stabbed an Israeli occupation forces soldier and was shot and killed. He was from Qutna village.
The stabbed Israeli occupation soldier Ziv Mizrahi(20) died beside Taha's body. Photo shows Israeli soldier crying on the scene, but the occupation forces were not too busy trying to help their comrade or mourning him that they could not try to take away Ahmed's dignity by taking off his clothes.
In Huwwara checkpoint Alaa Khalil Sabah Hashah(16) was shot at least ten times by Israel's occupation forces after allegedly "drawing a knife".
Alaa died on the scene and Samah Abd al-Mumen Ahmad, sitting nearby in her car, was also hit, in head, by Israel's occupation forces' bullets and remains in critical condition. She is from Ammuriya village.
