Following an investigation by the Israeli military into the killing of a Palestinian motorcycle rider on February 5th, and the severe wounding of his passenger, the military was forced to admit that their initial claim that the young man had explosives was a false claim.
Abdullah Faisal Omar Tawalba, 19, was shot and killed by Israeli forces on February 5th, 2019, at an Israeli military checkpoint in Jenin, in the northern part of the West Bank.
His passenger, Omar Ahmad Hanana, 15, was also shot by the Israeli military and badly injured, but is in stable condition at the Jenin Governmental Hospital run by the Palestinian Authority.
Initially, the Israeli military reported to the media that the young men had approached the checkpoint and “tried to plant explosives”.
An investigation by Israeli military police found no evidence whatsoever of any explosives of any kind.
The soldiers claimed that they “heard an explosion,” and “where sure “an explosive was thrown at the roadblock, before they opened fire.”
The checkpoint where Abdullah was killed by the soldiers is located near the entrance of the al-Jalama village, northeast of Jenin in northern West Bank.
The army’s initial statement claimed that Palestinians were riding a motor cycle and “hurled an explosive at the soldiers”. There were no injuries of any soldiers.
Mahmoud Sa’adi, the director of the Emergency Department of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, said the slain Palestinian has been identified as Abdullah Faisal Omar Tawalba, 19, from the al-Jalama village, and added that Omar Ahmad Hanana, 15, was injured but is in a stable condition.
Palestinian medical sources said the medics moved the slain Palestinian, and the wounded teen, to Jenin Governmental Hospital.
They added that Tawalba was shot with several live rounds in the head and legs.

Israeli Soldiers Kill One Palestinian, Injure Another, Near Jenin
Israeli soldiers killed, on Monday evening, one Palestinian teen and injured another, near the entrance of the al-Jalama village, northeast of Jenin in northern West Bank.
The army claimed that Palestinians were riding a motor cycle and “hurled an explosive at the soldiers,” and did not report any injuries.
Mahmoud Sa’adi, the director of the Emergency Department of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, said the slain Palestinian has been identified as Abdullah Faisal Omar Tawalba, 19, from the al-Jalama village, and added that Omar Ahmad Hanana, 15, was injured but is in a stable condition.
Palestinian medical sources said the medics moved the slain Palestinian, and the wounded teen, to Jenin Governmental Hospital.
They added that Tawalba was shot with several live rounds in the head and legs.
Eyewitnesses said the two were riding a motorcycle near the village, when the soldiers opened fire at them, and denied the Israeli military allegation, stating that the army will say anything to justify murdering Palestinians.
They added that the two Palestinians were riding their motorcycle back home, in al-Jalama and ‘Arrana villages near Jenin, while returning from work.
The Israeli army did not report any injuries among the soldiers, and only issued a brief statement regarding the incident, alleging that the two Palestinians “arrived at the checkpoint riding a motorcycle, and hurled an explosive at the soldiers, causing no injuries.”
It is worth mentioning that the army holds the corpses of slain Palestinians suspected of attacking soldiers or colonialist settlers but did not hold Tawalba’s body, and local medics moved his corpse to Jenin Governmental Hospital.
Jenin Governor Akram Rajoub said the Israeli army “seems to have ready justifications for murdering Palestinians, in order to pass these crimes as acts of self-defense by the soldiers,” and added that “these lies, and fabrications are encouraged by the political leaders in Israel.”
Osama al-Qawasmi, a member of the Revolutionary Council of Fateh Movement and its spokesperson in Jenin, called on media outlets not to be mislead by statements made by the Israeli army and media outlets that have the only aim of justifying crimes committed by the soldiers against unarmed Palestinian civilians.
“It seems that every time Israel approaches election, the crimes against the Palestinians, their homes and lands increase,” he added.
On Sunday, a Palestinian man, identified as Ahmad Ghazi Abu Jabal, 30, died of critical wounds he sustained last week, after being shot by Israeli forces offshore the town of Beit Lahia, north of Gaza.
