On Thursday morning, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of a Palestinian child whom Israeli soldiers shot and seriously injured more than three weeks ago in Betunia town, west of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West bank.

The Health Ministry said the child, Mohammad Fadi Nouri, 16, was shot with a live round in the abdomen, leading to extensive internal organ damage and bleeding, and remained in a serious condition until he succumbed to his wounds.

Mohammad, from Betunia town west of Ramallah, was shot on September 28 during protests at the northern entrance of Al-Biereh city near Ramallah when the soldiers also shot and seriously injured many Palestinians.

The Palestinians were protesting the death of four Palestinians, Mohammad Hisham Abu Na’sa, 25 Ahmad Nathmi Alawna, 24 Abdul-Rahman Fathi Khazem, 27 Mohammad Mahmoud Barahma, 30, who were killed by Israeli soldiers in Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

On Wednesday night, Israeli soldiers killed Odai Kamal Tamimi, 22, near Ma’ale Adumim illegal colony, east of the occupied capital Jerusalem in the West Bank, after he opened fire at security guards, mildly wounded one.

The Israeli army has been looking for Odai after holding him responsible for the death of an Israeli soldier, Noa Lazar, 18, and the serious injury of a security guard at a military roadblock near Shu’fat.

A day before the soldier’s death, the army killed Ahmad Mohammad Hussein Daraghma, 24, and Mahmoud Moayyad Sous, 18, in Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Their deaths also came just a day after the Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian teens, Adel Ibrahim Adel Daoud, 14, and Mahdi Mohammad Ladadwa, 17, and injured dozens of Palestinians near Qalqilia and Ramallah in the northern and central parts of the occupied West Bank.

On October 11, an Israeli soldier, Ido Baruch, 20, succumbed to serious wounds he suffered in a shooting targeting a large group of Israeli colonizers, guarded by dozens of soldiers, marching near Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed 174 Palestinians since the beginning of this year, 2022, 123 of them in the West Bank and 51 in the Gaza Strip and added that among the slain Palestinians are 41 children.

On Wednesday night, Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian man near Ma’ale Adumim illegal colony, east of the occupied capital Jerusalem in the West Bank, after he opened fire at security guards, mildly wounded one.

The Israeli army said the Palestinian, Odai Kamal Tamimi, 22, shot a security guard, 24, mildly wounding him in his hand.

The army added that another security guard at the scene fired at the Palestinian and killed him.

Video footage shows the Palestinian continuing to exchange fire with the officers even after he was shot multiple times.

After the shooting, the army installed many roadblocks in the area and initiated massive searches, fearing that another Palestinian might be involved in the shooting, although the assumption was not verified.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched in the Shu’fat refugee camp northeast of Jerusalem and headed to Odai’s home, condemning his death and chanting against the ongoing illegal Israeli occupation and escalating violations, and calling for continued resistance until liberation and independence.

The Israeli army has been looking for the Palestinian after holding him responsible for the death of an Israeli soldier, Noa Lazar, 18, and the serious injury of a security guard at a military roadblock near Shu’fat.

The army has since been constantly invading his family’s home and the homes of his relatives and ransacking them, causing serious damage, in addition to interrogating and detaining many of them.

Immediately after the shooting, the army imposed a tight siege on the Shu’fat refugee camp, Anata town, and surrounding areas, and initiated extensive and violent searches of homes and buildings, abducted dozens of Palestinians.

Following Odai’s death, thousands of Palestinians held massive processions in Shu’fat refugee camp northeast of Jerusalem, Qalandia, north of Jerusalem, the northern entrance of Bethlehem city, Nabi Saleh village, northwest of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, Ni’lin village, northwest of the city, and the northern entrance of the nearby Al-Biereh city, in addition to many areas in Jenin and Nablus in the northern part of the occupied territory.

The soldiers fired live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the Palestinians and surrounding buildings.

The soldiers also closed many roadblocks on main roads in the West Bank, including the Qalandia terminal, north of Jerusalem, and the Al-Jalama roadblock, northeast of Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

Palestinian national and Islamic factions declared a comprehensive general strike in the occupied West Bank Thursday to mourn the slain young man and called for raising black flags on homes and buildings and for massive processions across the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, to protest the seriously escalating Israeli violations.

It is worth mentioning that, a day before the soldier’s death, the army killed Ahmad Mohammad Hussein Daraghma, 24, and Mahmoud Moayyad Sous, 18, in Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.

Their deaths also came just a day after the Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian teens, Adel Ibrahim Adel Daoud, 14, and Mahdi Mohammad Ladadwa, 17, and injured dozens of Palestinians near Qalqilia and Ramallah in the northern and central parts of the occupied West Bank.

On October 11, an Israeli soldier, Ido Baruch, 20, succumbed to serious wounds he suffered in a shooting targeting a large group of Israeli colonizers, guarded by dozens of soldiers, marching near Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
