Israeli Soldiers Kill A Palestinian Near Bethlehem
Israeli soldiers shot and killed, on Thursday at noon, a young Palestinian man, after he reportedly attempted to stab them, in Teqoua’ town, east of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian, identified as Mohmmad Hussein Tnouh, 26, was shot with four live rounds, before an army jeep ran over him, near al-Khansa’ school, in Teqoua’.
An Israeli army spokesperson said the soldiers “responded to an immediate threat, and killed the man.”
After shooting the Palestinian, the soldiers closed the area, prevented bystanders, and even medics, from approaching him, and later covered his body with a black sheet, before taking it away.
The Red Crescent said the soldiers refused to allow its medics to approach the Palestinian to assess his condition, and the extent of his injuries, before he was declared dead.
It is worth mentioning that clashes took place after Tnouh was shot dead, and the soldiers fired dozens of live rounds and rubber-coated steel bullets.
Furthermore, the Palestinian Police said the soldiers shot one of its officers, identified as Zayed Sha’er, with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the head.
The death of Tnouh brings the number of Palestinians, killed by Israeli soldiers in occupied Palestine this year alone, to fifty Palestinians, including fifteen children, and a toddler, identified as Abdul-Rahman Mahmoud Barghouthi, only18 months of age, who died, on July 7th, from the severe effects of teargas inhalation after Israeli soldiers invaded Aboud village, northwest of Ramallah, in central West Bank, and fired many gas bombs.
Ten Israelis, including six soldiers and officers, were killed since the beginning of this year; two of them were Arab citizens of Israel.

Following the fatal incidents, the soldiers completely sealed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and canceled Friday prayers, before preventing all Muslim worshipers from entering or leaving the mosque courtyards.
Eyewitnesses said the three Palestinians were riding a motorcycle, before exchanging fire with the officers near the Lions Gate, and then continued towards the Dome of the Rock in Al-Aqsa compound where they exchanged fire with the officers, for the second time, before they were killed.
Israeli daily Haaretz said three officers were hurt in the shooting; two of them suffered serious wounds and one suffered a mild-to-moderate injury.
Haaretz quoted the Israeli police stating that the three Palestinians arrived at one of Al-Aqsa gates, and noticed police and military presence, before they opened fire on them and escaped.
It stated that the police pursued the three, and killed them, and added that the officers found two rifles and a pistol on the bodies of the three Palestinians.
After the shooting, the police closed the entire compound of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and initiated extensive searches in the area “to ensure no weapons are in it.”
Although no faction has claimed responsibility for the shooting, Hamas spokesperson in Gaza, Sami Abu Zohri, said the incident is a natural reaction and outcome of “Israel’s ongoing terror, and desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
The identities of the three Palestinians remain unknown, but initial reports indicate they carried ID cards, identifying them as are Israeli citizens from Umm al-Fahm Palestinian town.
Is worth mentioning that the soldiers prevented the Mufti of Jerusalem, the Khatib of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and several other religious leaders, including the head of the Jerusalem Waqf and Endowment Department, from entering the mosque or its compound.
