Continuing their rapid escalation in the city and region of Jenin, Israeli forces killed three men in a targeted assassination as the three men were driving in a car Thursday morning in the town of Jaba, south of Jenin.

The attack follows a massive invasion of Jenin and Jenin refugee camp the previous day, during which Israeli troops killed six Palestinian men and wounded 26 Palestinian civilians using sharpshooters on rooftops and aerial bombardment. No Israelis were wounded.

A seventh Palestinian died of his wounds on Thursday after having been wounded during the Wednesday invasion.

Israeli undercover special forces executed the three young men, Thursday morning, shooting them inside their vehicle in an extrajudicial assassination, at the entrance to the town of Jaba, south of Jenin.

Those killed were identified as Sufian Adnan Ismail Fakhouri, 26 years old, Nayef Ahmad Yusef Malaysha, 25 years old, and Ahmad Mohammad Dheeb Fashafsha, 22 years old.

The secretary of the “Fateh” movement in Jaba’, Jawad Khaliliya, told the Palestinian Wafa News Agency that Israeli special forces infiltrated the town and fired from point-zero range at a Hyundai vehicle in the Al-Fwara area with three young men inside, killing the young men.

Khaliliya added that immediately following the assassination, large forces of the Israeli occupation army stormed the town, deployed snipers on the rooftops, surrounded the house of Bahaa Fayez Salatmeh, for more than two hours, abducted him and completely destroyed the contents of his house.

With the rise of the three young men in Jaba, the death toll since the beginning of this year has risen to 77 Palestinians, including 13 children and a woman, killed by Israeli forces and paramilitary colonial settlers.

12 Israelis were killed by Palestinian fighters and unknown assailants during that same time period.

Thursday morning, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of a child who was seriously injured by Israeli army fire two days ago, when the soldiers killed six Palestinians in Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

The Health Ministry identified the child as Walid Sa’ad Daoud Nassar, 14, and said the soldiers shot him with live rounds in the abdomen, causing serious injuries.

Palestinian medics tried to reach the wounded child, but the soldiers did not allow them to reach him and later moved him to Hadassah Israeli medical center in Jerusalem.

The child was shot after the soldiers invaded Jenin and Jenin refugee camp, killed six young men, and injured at least twenty-six, including three who suffered critical injuries.

Also Thursday morning, Israeli forces killed three young men in a targeted assassination as the three men were driving in a car Thursday morning in the town of Jaba, south of Jenin.

Those killed were identified as Sufian Adnan Ismail Fakhouri, 26 years old, Nayef Ahmad Yusef Malaysha, 25 years old, and Ahmad Mohammad Dheeb Fashafsha, 22 years old.

The Health Ministry has confirmed that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers since the beginning of this year is now 78, including 14 children and one woman.

Thirty-one of the slain Palestinians were killed in Jenin, 18 in Nablus, 7 in Hebron, 6 in Jerusalem, 5 in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, 3 in Qalqilia, 2 in Ramallah, 2 in Bethlehem, 1 in Salfit, 1 in Tubas, and 2 in the Gaza Strip.

NOTE: The entire West Bank has been under Israeli occupation since 1967; all its official entrances and exits are controlled by Israeli soldiers, making its Palestinian inhabitants virtual prisoners. Many are families that were ethnically cleansed from Israel during Israel’s founding war (see this and this and this). Israeli forces often invade them; one example is here.

Israel was established in 1947 through a war of ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population, both Muslims and Christians, and it continues to steal other people’s land for illegal colonies known as ‘settlements.’ While Palestinians most often use nonviolent resistance, a small number use armed resistance against the invaders.

Thanks to the pro-Israel lobby in the US, Congress disburses over $20 million per day of Americans’ tax money directly to and/or on behalf of Israel.
