ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES KILL TWO IN EAST JERUSALEM, HEBRON [UPDATED]

ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES KILL TWO IN EAST JERUSALEM, HEBRON [UPDATED]

In less than 24 hours Israeli occupation has killed three people and has critically wounded one.

The Thursday killing of Muhammad Ahmad Abed al-Fattah al-Sarrahin(30) has been today followed first with the killing of a Jordanian citizen in East Jerusalem and the killing of a young man and the critical wounding of his wife in Hebron.

We treat all killings with utmost skepticism, because the reasons for the killings are excuses used so many times for cases where further information showed there was no 'attack'.

New information on the Hebron incident gained after the first version of this post was published connects it to an earlier killing at the exact same place on June 25th.The victim then was the teenage sister of a young woman wounded today.

EAST JERUSALEM

In East Jerusalem's Damascus Gate Israel's occupation forces killed the Jordanian claiming that the person had "tried to stab" occupation forces' member.

There is no evidence of medical aid being given him to based photographs and a video from the scene. At some point after the shooting he was stripped naked on the scene.

The unnamed person, a young male, had entered occupied Palestine on Thursday from Jordan through the Allenby crossing.

HEBRON

In Hebron Israeli occupation forces shot at two people in their car near the entrance to the illegal colony of Kiryat Arba claiming a 'ramming attack' attempt against illegal Israeli settlers and occupation soldiers.  Israeli occupation claims three occupation soldiers were "lightly injured" - this can mean slightly torn clothes or a scratch that doesn't break skin based on previous examples.

The victims car was shot dozens of times and Israeli occupation didn't allow medical aid to reach them for some time after the car hit a cement pole and stopped.The driver Firad al-Khadour was killed. His wife Raghad al-Khadour was also initially reported to have died, but is now said to be in a critical condition.

Beside occupation forces' soldiers, armed illegal Israeli settlers' swarmed around the car like in the previous killing at the exact same spot on June 25th, which cost the life of teenage mother Majd al-Khadour, aged 18 or 19.

Majd was Raghad's sister. This implies a connection between the events, but sadly unconnected killings of close relatives by the occupation at the same places are not uncommon in occupied Palestine so we are hesitant to say that this would have been attempt at 'revenge'.
