The Jews Have Murdered Yet Another Palestinian Child In Bethlehem
The Jews used lethal force yet again, this time opening fire on a group of boys who were throwing stones, and killing Zaid Mohammad Ghneim.
(The day before, The Jews had shot dead a 16-year-old in Nablus, and a few days before that, The Jews had killed a 16-year-old in Jenin.)
The child, Zaid Mohammad Ghneim, 15 years old, was shot by Israeli forces with three bullets in his chest and back and was taken to Al-Yamamah Hospital, south of Bethlehem, where he died of his wounds. [His name is also given as Zaid Mohammad Saeed Ghnaim, Zaid Mohammed Saeed Ghunaim, and Zaid Mohammed Ghonaim.]
Local sources said that when the Israeli troops invaded the “Umm Rokba” area in the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, they were met by local youth who began throwing stones at the soldiers to try to get them to leave their village.
Israeli troops responded with lethal force, shooting live ammunition at the children and teens, killing one, and wounding several others.
The killing of the 15-year-old child comes in the midst of an escalation of violence by Israeli forces, who have been invading Palestinian areas on a daily basis and firing live ammunition at unarmed Palestinians during their invasions.
Zaid was a ninth-grade student at Saeed Al-Aas Boys School in Bethlehem. He was the second student from that school to have been killed by Israeli forces in the past two months.
His father said that he was sitting with his son just hours before he was killed by the soldiers and added that Zaid was heading to his grandfather’s home when the soldiers shot him.
The Palestinian Minister of Education, Prof. Marwan Awartani condemned the killing of the student and called on human rights and international institutions defending children to put an end to these continuing Israeli crimes against students and education staff.
This killing of Zaid comes just two weeks after the brutal assassination of renowned Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli forces in Jenin. Abu Akleh was killed execution-style by Israeli soldiers while standing with other journalists next to a wall, far from any clashes.
Seven Palestinian civilians, three of whom were children, were killed by Israeli forces during the month of May. Twenty-two Palestinian civilians were killed in the month of April, and over a thousand were wounded, as Israeli forces targeted Palestinian Muslims celebrating the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. [Three Israelis were killed in May, and four in April.]
During the holy month of fasting and praying, Israeli forces repeatedly invaded the mosque area and assaulted worshipers.

The Jews Murdered Yet Another 16-Year-Old Palestinian In Nablus
The Jews murdered another 16-year-old Ghaith Yameen in Nablus during a raid early Wednesday morning. The murder comes just days after The Jews murdered another 16-year-old Amjad Walid Hussein Fayed in Jenin.
The teenager was identified by the Palestinian Ministry of Health as Ghaith Yameen from the Ras al-Ain neighborhood of Nablus. He was pronounced dead shortly after 2:00 am after he was shot in the head with a live bullet by The Jews.
Yameen was shot near Joseph’s Tomb in eastern Nablus, after Israeli death forces escorted a group of Jewish land thieves to perform prayers at the site, sparking confrontations with local youth.
The shrine, which is revered by Muslims, Christians, and Jews, is a flashpoint in Nablus and the frequent site of violent confrontations. The Israeli military often escorts large groups of Israeli settlers to the area, provoking the local Palestinian community.
During the raid in which Yameen was killed, at least 88 Palestinians were wounded, including 19 rubber-coated steel bullet injuries, and 67 cases of tear gas suffocation, the ministry of health reported.
The killing of Yameen comes just days after Israeli forces killed 16-year-old Amjad Walid Hussein Fayed in Jenin.
Yameen is the 12th Palestinian child to be killed by The Jews since the start of the year.
