Young Palestinian shot dead by Israeli troops near Hebron

Published Wednesday 13/03/2013 (updated) 15/03/2013 14:45

HEBRON (Ma’an) – A young Palestinian man was shot dead Tuesday evening by Israeli forces during clashes in al-Fawwar refugee camp near Hebron.

Medical sources at Abu al-Hasan al-Qasim Hospital in Yatta confirmed that 25-year-old Mahmoud Adel Faris al-Teiti was brought to hospital with a head injury.

They said he was shot by expanding "dum dum" bullets.

Two other young men were shot and injured by live ammunition and six were hit by rubber-coated bullets.

Mahmoud Shadafan was hit in the stomach and 25-year-old Rami al-Krunz, in the foot, Red Crescent official Nasser Qabaja told Ma'an.

Al-Krunz was evacuated to Abu al-Hasan al-Qasim Hospital, while Shadafan was taken to al-Ahli Hospital in Hebron.

Clashes erupted when Israeli forces raided the camp. Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition and tear gas after local youths threw stones at them, Qabaja said.

Citing the results of an initial investigation, an Israeli military spokeswoman said the troops had been attacked with fire-bombs on a nearby road and pursued the assailants into Fawwar, where they encountered the stone-throwers.

"Feeling a threat to their lives, they (the soldiers) fired toward the assaulters," the spokeswoman said, confirming that a Palestinian was killed in the shooting.

Reuters contributed to this report.

The lesson is: do not throw stones at anyone and you will be alive.

"O Allaah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allaah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islaam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allaah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him" - "Verily to Allaah, belongs what He took and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed time". Be patient...

Dum dum bullets on protestors!!!!! It's illegal in a war zone, but somehow Israel uses them against protesters.

Claims that firebombs were thrown at them may be this years' lie of choice for the IDF.

To Cocktail #2: 'The lesson is: do not throw stones at anyone and you will be alive.' Actually, as quite a few infants and old people could testify (if only they weren't dead), it doesn't seem to make much difference. Zionists just like to kill. In fact, the last few years suggest a lack of resistance just makes them bolder.

This was an extrajudicial targeted assasination. Elteiti is an activist . This fact was/is known to the occupation authorities. It is part of the IDF policy to target kill activists/leaders. That is why they shot and killed him to shut him up.

Even if Maan or Israel reports that he threw something, you can NOT believe either, so we'll never know for sure, but we do know FOUR THINGS: 1- Clashes erupted, 2- Youths threw stones, and 3- He was there, so 4- His being an "innocent by-stander" is NOT likely !!!!
