The occupation Intelligence decided on Monday night not to release the body of the 19-year old Fadi Alloun and give it to his family to bury him tonight as previously decided.
Al-Dameer organization lawyer, Mohammad Mahmoud, explained that he received a phone call from the Israeli Intelligence to inform him that Fadi’s body won’t be released tonight due to security reasons and because of the clashes in the neighborhood of Shu’fat.
The body is supposed to be buried in Shu’fat cemetery and the funeral tent is in Beit Hanina.
It is noteworthy that the Intelligence decided earlier today to release the body and bury him in Shu’fat cemetery in the presence of 50-70 people only. They also conditioned the family to deposit a 20-thousand NIS bail to ensure commitment to the rules.

Feelings of shock and grief hang over the Martyr’s family, 19-year old Fadi Samir Alloun, who was murdered with cold blood in the area of Al-Musrara near Damascus Gate in Jerusalem.
Fadi was the only support his father had and was loved by all of his family and neighbors. Unjust laws deprive the family from a “reunion” The Martyr Fadi Alloun was deprived from seeing his mother and brother Mohammad at young age when his mother went to Amman, Jordan when he was only 5 years old. She was not allowed to come back to the country under the pretext of “violating the reunion conditions”. |
She stayed with her 18-year old son Mohammad in Amman while the Martyr remained with his father in the city of Jerusalem.
The Martyr’s father denies the occupation’s story
The Martyr’s father, Samir, said that the occupation forces interrogated him regarding his son and his educations and how he used to spend his day.
Samir denied the charges against his son and the justifications of shooting him and said: “Israeli claims and fabricated charges against my son to justify the murder. My son went to pray and was running away from settlers who were chanting “Death for Arabs” near Al-Musrara and tried to seek protection from an Israeli police patrol -seemed like he was assaulted- but one police officer dismounted from the vehicle and shot and killed him.”
Assaulting and humiliating the Martyr’s body
The occupation authorities did not only murdered Fadi, but allowed the settlers to kick his body while laying on the ground, and also raided and searched his entire houses and confiscated cell phones.
The occupation forces continued their assault on the family in an attempt for revenge and arrested the Martyr’s father and uncle; they described the Martyr as a “terrorist”.
Raiding, searching, damaging and use of electric gun…
The Martyr’s aunt explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center what happened during the raid on their house and said: “We were home in a state of shock after the news of the Martyrdom of Fadi and the way he was murdered. Then, we were surprised with large Israeli forces raided our house without any notice and they were deployed in the rooms. They pushed the women and used force to evacuate them from the house.”
She explained that the forces shocked 4 women with the electric gun and assaulted her and pushed her to the ground.
She added: “They asked about his father and then detained him during the search, while other soldiers asked about Fadi’s room to search it.”
She continued: “After the soldiers finished the search and confiscated cell phones, they arrested the Martyr’s father and uncle and covered their faces with black bags.”

The human rights report documented 102 cases of arrest among minors mostly from Occupied Jerusalem and al-Khalil. 60 Palestinians from Gaza Strip were held captive including 8 fishermen who were arrested while fishing in Gaza sea.
Israeli forces rounded up 103 Palestinians from the blockaded Gaza Strip for attempting to cross the security fence into 1948 Occupied Palestine, the report pointed out.
A Palestinian collaborator with Israeli occupation disclosed that Israel targeted the fighter’s vehicle despite knowing about the presence of his wife and young girl in the car.
The unnamed collaborator confessed that he was involved in the assassination of a Palestinian resistance fighter, Yaser Taha, in 2003.
A security source of Hamas said that Israeli intelligence officers followed the car that was carrying Martyr Yaser Taha in Gaza in 2003 and ordered to strike it with three missiles. This led to the death of fighter Taha, his little girl, and his wife who was pregnant.
The fighter belonged to al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Resistance Movement.
Israel has always blackmailed vulnerable Palestinians and turned them against their own people.

Ramallah, September 30, 2015—Children represent 46.2 percent of the 4.68 million Palestinians living in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Instability and violence has defined much of their lives since September 2000 when the second intifada, or uprising, broke out against Israeli military occupation of Palestinian territory.
The five-year period of conflict erupted after Ariel Sharon, then opposition leader of the Likud party, visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third holiest site, in Jerusalem’s Old City accompanied by 1,000 Israeli police officers on September 28, 2000. More than 700 Palestinian children died at the hands of Israeli forces and settlers between September 2000 and February 2005, according to Defense for Children International - Palestine research. Since then, at least 1,296 Palestinian children have been killed, including 551 in 2014 alone, the majority during Israeli military offensives on the Gaza Strip.
The deadliest Israeli military offensive, Operation Protective Edge, lasted 50 days between July 8 and August 26, 2014, and claimed the lives of at least 2,220 Palestinians. DCIP independently verified the deaths of 547 Palestinian children among the killed in Gaza, 535 of them as a direct result of Israeli attacks. Nearly 68 percent of the children killed by Israeli forces were 12 years old or younger. The second deadliest Israeli military offensive, Operation Cast Lead, launched on December 27, 2008, lasted 22 days, and claimed the lives of at least 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 350 Palestinian children.
Displacement, access to education and health care, and psychological trauma remain significant areas of concern for children in Gaza, particularly in the wake of Israel’s 2014 assault and eight-year blockade on Gaza.
In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Palestinian children have endured heightened levels of violence in recent years, as Israeli soldiers and police use excessive force to quash protests. Since 2014, 15 Palestinian children have died at the hands of Israeli forces, all except one with live ammunition, according to DCIP documentation. DCIP found no evidence that any of those children posed a direct threat to Israeli troops or settlers. OCHA estimated a further 1,477 children were injured in the West Bank from Israeli live fire and crowd control weapons, including rubber-coated metal bullets, tear gas canisters, water cannons, and sound grenades, during the past 21 months.
Earlier this month, Israeli authorities amended open-fire rules to allow Israeli forces to fire live ammunition during protests in Jerusalem when there is a “threat to life.” Previously, the regulations permitted live ammunition only when there is a direct, mortal threat to the life of a police officer or soldier. The move comes as Israeli officials also push forward stricter sentencing guidelines and fines for stone-throwers.
Palestinian children in the West Bank, like adults, also face arrest, prosecution, and detention under an Israeli military court system that denies them basic rights. Since 1967, Israel has operated two separate legal systems in the same territory: Israeli settlers live under civilian law whereas Palestinians are subject to martial law. Israel applies civilian law to Palestinian children in East Jerusalem. Israel is the only country in the world that prosecutes between 500 and 700 children in military courts each year. No Israeli child comes into contact with the military court system.
Since 2000, DCIP estimates that at least 8,500 Palestinian children wound up arrested by Israeli forces and prosecuted in the Israeli military detention system. Between 2012 and 2014, Israel held an average of 198 Palestinian children in custody each month, according to data provided by the Israel Prison Service. The majority of them faced charges of throwing stones.
DCIP received affidavits from 107 West Bank children detained during 2014 that showed three-quarters of them endured some form of physical violence following arrest. Israeli interrogators also used position abuse, threats, and solitary confinement to coerce confessions from some children. In 93 percent of these cases, Israeli authorities deprived children of legal counsel and failed to inform them properly of their rights. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz obtained a military court report in 2011 that showed a 99.7 percent conviction rate for Palestinian defendants.
In 1991, Israel ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). During its initial review in 2002, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the UN body that monitors implementation of the CRC, expressed serious concern regarding “allegations and complaints of inhuman or degrading practices and of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian children” during arrest, interrogation and detention.
More than a decade later, the only change is that ill-treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention has become widespread and systematic. In June 2013, the Committee declared that Palestinian children arrested by Israeli forces continue to be “systematically subject to degrading treatment, and often to acts of torture” and that Israel had “fully disregarded” previous recommendations to comply with international law.
The past 15 years have also seen a growing number of Palestinian children and their families live in villages and towns hemmed in by expanding and often violent Israeli settler communities. Since Israel occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967, it has established some 125 Jewish-only settlements that house 515,000 Israelis. The international community considers them illegal. Israel, however, claims religious and historical rights to the territory.
Stationed throughout the West Bank, Israeli soldiers, police, and private security firms protect settler populations at the expense of Palestinian civilians. In this hyper-militarized environment, Palestinian children have faced disproportionate physical violence, restricted access to education, and psychological trauma.

Evidence obtained by Amnesty International indicated that the killing of the Palestinian girl Hadeel al-Hashlamoun by the Israeli occupation forces in al-Khalil, in the occupied West Bank, on 22 September 2015 was an extrajudicial execution.
According to a report by Amnesty International, Israeli soldiers shot and mortally wounded 18-year-old Hadeel al-Hashlamoun after they stopped her at a checkpoint in the Old City in al-Khalil.
Pictures of the stand-off that led to her death and accounts by eyewitnesses interviewed by Amnesty International show that Hadeel at no time posed a threat to the soldiers to make their use of deliberate lethal force permissible.
This killing is the latest in a long line of unlawful killings carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank with near total impunity, Amnesty said.
Two eyewitnesses with whom Amnesty International spoke separately said that al-Hashlamoun arrived at the checkpoint at around 7.40 am, and was stopped by two occupation soldiers at the checkpoint and ordered to open her bag for a search. She was standing still, around three meters from the soldiers. She opened her bag and showed it to the soldiers, who began to shout at her, at which point she froze, according to the eyewitnesses.
One of the eyewitnesses, Fawaz Abu Aisheh, 34, told Amnesty International that the Israeli soldiers were instructing al-Hashlamoun to “go back” in Hebrew, a language she seemed not to understand.
According to Abu Aisheh, the soldier who had shot first got up and moved closer to her, until he was about a meter away, and then shot at her upper body four or five times again while she was lying motionless on the ground. He said that the soldier shot a few times despite other soldiers yelling at him to stop. The first witness also described the soldier moving closer to al-Hashlamoun and shooting her in the chest.
According to the organization, Israeli accounts of events is contradicted by statements made by the two eyewitnesses interviewed by Amnesty International and photographs of the incident which show al-Hashlamoun standing still.
Shooting al-Hashlamoun again multiple times as she lay wounded on the ground indicates that her killing was an extrajudicial execution.
Unlawful and deliberate killings carried out by order of government or military officials, or with their complicity or acquiescence, amount to extrajudicial executions, which are prohibited at all times and constitute crimes under international law, the report added.
An extrajudicial execution would also constitute a willful killing, which is a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which applies to Israel’s long-standing military occupation of Palestinian territories, and a war crime.
Palestinian residents of al-Khalil have often had their freedom of movement and their economic rights severely curtailed. In addition, Palestinians are often subject to arbitrary detention and humiliating treatment by the Israeli occupation officers stationed in the city, and are often subject to settler violence, which the Israeli authorities fail to investigate effectively.
