Ahmad Abu al-‘Aish 30
The soldiers fired several gas bombs at Palestinian medics and ambulances, and obstructed many medics trying to provide the needed aid to wounded Palestinians, detaining the ambulances for extended periods before finally allowing them through.
The army also demolished the second floor of a home belonging to the family of detainee Mohammad Abu Shahin, who is held by Israel for allegedly “participating in killing two Israeli settlers, and wounding three others”, in July of this year.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers invaded the camp while firing dozens of rounds of live ammunition, and advanced towards the home of Abu Shahin, before wiring the home and detonating explosives inside it.
The deaths of the two men makes the total number of Palestinians killed since October 1st eighty eight. Ten Israelis have been killed by Palestinians in the same time period. Over 3,000 Palestinians have been wounded, many of them seriously. More than 1300 Palestinians were shot by live ammunition during this time period, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Youssef Abu Latifa 17
The Israeli occupation patrols further kidnapped an injured minor from the ambulance.
Eye-witnesses identified the child as 17-year-old Youssef Abu Latifa, who was critically wounded in the Qalandiya clashes.
On-the-spot observers further reported cases of aggressive attacks and heavy discharge of tear gas canisters on the ambulance and paramedical staff in the area.
An eyewitness was quoted by a PIC journalist as reporting that the occupation army cordoned off the area at 2 a.m. before they broke into the camp and knocked down the home of activist Muhammad Shaheen, who Israeli officials claim killed an Israeli settler in June near the West Bank province of Ramallah.
Violent clashes flared up shortly afterwards, resulting in the murder of Abu Eish.
Palestinian media reported that the Israeli occupation troops summoned military reinforcement, fanning the flames of the simmering tension that burst out at the refugee camp.
An Israeli chopper kept, meanwhile, hovering over the territory to ensure the safe backtracking of the army troops.
Shortly after, over 1,000 Israeli soldiers re-rolled into the camp, and sealed it off from all corners, sparking violent clashes. Ashraf al-Shou’ani was shot and killed right on the spot.
The attack culminated in the demolition, without prior notification, of Shaheen’s family home
Recent months have seen a dramatic surge in Israeli demolitions of Palestinian civilian homes, triggering the wrath of a plethora of national and international human rights organizations.
The practice of demolishing the family homes of Palestinian anti-occupation activists has often been criticized as a form of collective punishment against the Palestinian people.
