Palestinian man killed during clashes with Israeli forces in Hebron
HEBRON (Ma‘an) 11 Dec — A Palestinian man was shot and killed during clashes in the Ras al-Jura area of Hebron on Friday, witnesses told Ma‘an. A Ma‘an reporter said Uday Irsheid, 24, was shot in the chest and critically wounded during clashes with Israeli military forces at the northern entrance to Hebron. He later died from his injuries. The clashes broke out following a march called for by Hamas to mark the 28th anniversary of the political party’s founding. Red Crescent officials told Ma‘an that nine Palestinians were shot with live fire and three with rubber-coated steel bullets during the clashes. The injured were taken to a Health Work Committee center for medical treatment . . . Uday’s sister, Dania, was shot and killed by Israeli forces in Hebron on Oct. 25.The 17-year-old was shot dead after police officers allegedly saw “a knife in her hand.” No Israelis were injured during the incident . . . Following an investigation into several cases of Palestinian deaths, Amnesty International found that Dania’s killing was “absolutely unjustified” and called for Israel to end its “pattern of unlawful killings.” . . . Hebron has become the epicenter of violence over the last two months, as roughly 30 percent of the now 117 [or 119] Palestinians to be killed since Oct. 1 were from the Hebron district.

Hebron family mourns death of second child in two months
HEBRON (MEE) 11 Dec by Sheren Khalel & Abed al Qaisi — Thirteen-year-old Mohammed Irshied thought his older brother had only been shot in the leg when he arrived alone to the hospital and asked for his brother’s room number. “The police officer at the front just looked at me and said ‘your brother isn’t in a room, he’s a martyr now,’” Mohammed told Middle East Eye a few hours later at the mourning hall where friends and family were gathering to show their respects for the young man. It’s the second time in less than two months that Mohammed has found himself in the same hall mourning a sibling. Israeli forces shot Ouday Irshied, 24, in the chest and leg during clashes in Hebron city on Friday, killing him just six-and-a-half weeks after his sister Dania Irshied, 17, was shot dead at the same city-centre. Mohammed is now the oldest of his four remaining siblings. He and his brother spent most of their time together. At home they shared a room, and together they ran the family’s small bakery in the centre of town. Dania, he said, was his oldest sister and took care of him like a mother.

The wounded settler is the son of “Jewish Home” Member of Knesset, Orit Struck, Israeli Ynet News has reported. Eyewitnesses said the Palestinian was killed near Beit Hadassah illegal Israeli colony, in Hebron’s Old city, and that he was shot with several live rounds, and bled to death after the soldiers prevented Palestinian medics from approaching him.

Medics: Bethlehem youth shot dead with illegal ammunition
BETHLEHEM (Ma‘an) 8 Dec — Malik Akram Shahin, 19, who was shot dead by Israeli forces in Bethlehem [Deheishe refugee camp] overnight Monday, was killed by an explosive bullet fired at his head, medical sources at the Beit Jala Governmental Hospital told Ma‘an. Medics said the explosive bullet smashed Shahin’s skull and exploded inside his head, with the bullet and skull fragments shattering into “hundreds of pieces.” The sources said the positioning of the shot, as well as the type of bullet used, clearly indicates that Israeli forces shot at Shahin with every intention to kill. The use of explosive bullets, also called expanding bullets or “dum dum” bullets, is illegal under international law, and considered a crime of war under the 1899 Hague Declaration and the International Criminal Court’s Rome Statute, among others. The bullets are banned due to the brutal damage inflicted on the victim, as the bullets are made to splinter apart and become lodged, instead of making a clean exit through the body. Israel has repeatedly denied claims that its forces use such bullets, though Palestinian medical examiners have on occasion documented their use. Locals told Ma‘an that after Shahin was shot, he was “left bleeding for a long time before he was evacuated to the public hospital in Beit Jala, where medics pronounced him dead.” [IMEMC reports: A Palestinian physician in Bethlehem said, Tuesday, that the Israeli bullet that killed the teen in the Deheishe refugee camp, in Bethlehem, is a new type of internationally banned hollow-point bullet]

Slain Palestinian teen’s mother: ‘They took all our happiness with one bullet’
BETHLEHEM (MEE) 8 Dec by Sheren Khaled & Abed al Qaisi — For the second time in a little over two months, young men from Dheisha refugee camp gathered to carry their dead friend to the local cemetery. When he was alive, the young men – dressed in red to signify their support of the revolutionary socialist group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – would have called 19-year-old Malik Shahin their comrade. On Tuesday, they called him their martyr. Shahin was shot dead while trying to protect his neighbours, Mahmoud Damsaa, the 19-year-old’s friend, told Middle East Eye. Locals said Shahin was killed when Israeli forces entered Dheisha refugee camp during the early hours of Tuesday morning on an arrest raid. The overcrowded camp was calm at first, with residents sleeping near heaters, piled under thick blankets during one of the coldest nights of the year. The camp awoke abruptly, disrupting the quiet of the night, they said, as one-by-one residents became alerted to the soldiers’ presence. In minutes, chaos ensued as more than 400 young men left their homes and took to the rooftops, throwing rocks and sporadic Molotov cocktails at Israeli forces. “Malik was on the roof throwing stones like the rest of the young guys, ready to stop the soldiers from arresting our neighbours,” Damsaa said, recalling the moment his friend was killed before his eyes just hours before. “The soldiers threw a sound grenade up on the roof he was on and I saw him jump. He wasn’t expecting it and when he turned his head they shot him.” . . . Less than two months earlier, another young PFLP supporter from the camp, Mutaz Zawahra, was shot dead by Israeli forces during protests up the street from Dheisha. Unlike Zawahra, who was the middle child of five boys, Shahin was his family’s only son.
