RAMALLAH, West Bank Israeli troopers killed a Palestinian and wounded two others throughout a raid on a home in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian medical officers stated.

Falah Abu Maria, 52, was fatally shot during a house raid in Beit Ommar, a Hebron-area village in the southern West Bank, at dawn on Thursday. Most countries consider them illegitimate.

“When Falah attempted to aid his injured son, Israeli forces shot Falah twice in the chest, witnesses said”, Ma’an reported. Beit Ommar is a frequent target of army attacks because of regular protests villagers hold against the theft of their land for nearby Israeli settlements. The stories range from a fisherman who had his boat – the only source for his family’s livelihood – destroyed, to a father and a grandfather who lost six of his family members, including his wife and three sons.

Palestinian workers rebuild a house which was destroyed during the last summer’s war between Israel and Hamas, as the long-awaited reconstruction began in Shijaiyah neighborhood eastern Gaza City on Thursday, July 23, 2015. At least five Palestinians were wounded, Palestinian news media said.

Israel indicts around 1,000 people for throwing stones every year, and prosecutors often seek a three-month jail sentence for the offense if it does not cause injuries.

The Israeli army said it responded to Palestinians hurling rocks and firebombs at troops with “riot dispersal means”.

Abu Riyala, in his mid-20s, was shot while attempting to escape his arrest, she said.

“The military and senior politicians rushed to support [the colonel] before considering all the evidence”, Sarah Leah Whitson, the director of the group’s Middle East and North Africa program, said.

The Palestinian Minister of Housing and Public Works announced Tuesday that reconstruction of the Gaza Strip has “started and will not stop” until all the homes destroyed by Israeli forces during its latest offensive on Gaza have been rebuilt.

Ra’ed Fattouh, Palestinian liaison coordinator of goods at the Israeli-controlled commercial crossing of Kerem Shalom on the borders between southeast Gaza Strip and Israel said in an emailed press statement that Israel on Wednesday allowed 500 trucks into Gaza.

Israeli soldiers and settlers who attack or kill Palestinians enjoy systematic impunity.

In recent weeks, there have been reports about worldwide efforts to help reaching a long-term truce between Hamas and Israel based on ending the Israeli blockade and building up a seaport for Gaza.

Although Whatsapp messages showed the soldiers knew al-Shawamreh was a child, they killed the boy nonetheless.

The Israeli military stated troops confronted assaults with bricks and stones through the operation to arrest Mohammed, who was needed on suspicion of unspecified safety offences.
