Hundreds march in funeral processions of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank

Hundreds have marched in funeral processions of two Palestinians out of three killed by the Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in 24 hours.

The latest killing of a Palestinian by Israeli forces took place earlier on Thursday, in a raid by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Ayman Mheisen, 21, was shot dead by Israeli soldiers during an armed confrontation that broke in the refugee camp of al-Dheisha, south of Bethlehem on Thursday. He was the third Palestinian killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 24 hours.

A day earlier, in the West Bank village of Yabad, another Palestinian was killed during an attack by Israeli soldiers who entered the village to demolish the house of a Palestinian who allegedly was behind an attack in the occupied territories on March 30.

Warasnah, 31, was shot in the chest at the entrance of the Al Arroub refugee camp near Hebron city. Israeli military alleged the journalist “advanced” toward soldiers with a knife. After opening fire on her, Israeli forces prevented Red Crescent medics from approaching her for 20 minutes.

Following the murders on Wednesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community to immediately interfere to stop the Israeli regime’s extra-judicial killings of Palestinian people, denouncing them as “war crimes.”

Palestine urges intl. community to stop Israel’s extra-judicial killings

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called on the international community to immediately interfere to stop the Israeli regime’s extra-judicial killings of Palestinian people, denouncing such practices as “war crimes.”

The number of Palestinians, who have been killed since the beginning of the year during confrontations with Israeli forces in and around the West Bank city of Jenin, has reached 22.

The cold-blooded murder of veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akle earlier in May was also among the most appalling crimes committed by the Israeli regime over the recent months.  

ICC has already opened an investigation into possible war crimes by Israel in both the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. However, Israel does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction and has called the probe “unfair” and “anti-Semitic.”
