Essam Abu Yacoub, the head of Kifl Hares Town Council, said the slain Palestinian, and the wounded teen, Mohammad Abdul-Salam Abu Ya’coub, 17, were just walking in the area when the soldiers directly targeted them with live fire.

“This despicable and ugly crime is just one of a series of Israeli violations against our people in every part of occupied Palestine,” Kamil added, “This is yet another cold-blooded murder; Ibrahim and his friends were just walking in their town; there was no reason for the soldiers to open fire at them in the first place, let alone to deliver the fatal shots.”
The slain Palestinian is the brother of Agricultural Engineer and the Director of the Ministry of Environmental Affairs, Marwan Abu Ya’coub.

Israeli occupation authorities on Tuesday handed Palestinian citizens in Arab al-Mleihat community, northwest of Jericho, notices to seize 300 dunums of privately-owned land.
Palestinian residents of Arab al-Mleihat said that they were handed the confiscation notices by an Israeli settler from Mevo'ot Yeriho settlement, which is built illegally on Palestinian land.
They noted that Mevo'ot Yeriho settlers in early June attempted to raze the targeted lands to expand their settlement, but hundreds of Palestinians staged a protest and prevented settler bulldozers from implementing the plan.
The Palestinian residents of Arab al-Mleihat are harassed and threatened with displacement almost every day by Israeli authorities and settlers, but they refuse to leave their homes and lands despite the pressure and regular land seizure and home demolition campaigns.
