Hamdan Tawfiq al-Arda 60
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) shot and killed on Thursday afternoon a Palestinian man while driving his vehicle near the industrial zone on the northern section of al-Bireh city in West Bank.
Medical sources affirmed that Israeli soldiers opened fire at the man and critically injured him, before he was shortly announced dead.
The soldiers reportedly banned medics from providing him with first aid before he was pronounced dead.
Israeli army claimed that the man had attempted to ram his car into the soldiers who had just raided the zone, apparently in search of the attackers behind the killing of three Israeli soldiers at route 60, east of Ramallah.
The martyr was later identified by the PIC reporter as Hamdan al-Ardah, 60.
Israeli forces kill Palestinian after alleged vehicular attack
A Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces after he allegedly attempted to carry out a vehicular attack against Israeli soldiers during a raid to al-Bireh City in the central occupied West Bank, on Thursday afternoon.
Israeli media reported that a Palestinian youth, who attempted to run Israeli soldiers over in al-Bireh, was shot and killed.
Sources added that an Israeli soldier was wounded in the incident.
Palestinian Red Crescent teams announced that Israeli forces prevented them from reaching the Palestinian after he was initially shot.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses told Ma'an that the incident was merely a car accident, as the driver was surprised with Israeli soldiers in his way and attempted to turn away from them before they heavily opened fire at him.
Clashes, that erupted in al-Bireh after Israeli soldiers raided the city in search for a Palestinian who carried out a shooting attack earlier Thursday killing two Israeli soldiers, are still ongoing after Israeli soldiers shot and killed the Palestinian youth.
One Palestinian was injured with a rubber-coated steel bullet, during clashes, while a teen was detained by Israeli forces.

Ashraf Waleed Suleiman Na’alwa, 23
A squadron of Israeli military and police officers invaded Nablus at 1 am on Thursday, surrounded the house where a Palestinian suspected of killing two Israeli settlers, was believed to be hiding, and shot and killed the man, who was identified as Ashraf Waleed Suleiman Na’alwa, 23.
Na’alwa was ‘wanted’ by Israeli forces for the killing of two Israeli colonial settlers two months ago.
The soldiers shot and killed Ashraf with multiple rounds.
According to Israeli sources, the location of Na’alwa was provided by several suspects after they were subjected to “harsh interrogation”, which is the euphemism that Israeli authorities use to describe torture.
The Israeli intelligence service Shin Bet told Israeli media that they worked with several other Israeli agencies to “interrogate suspects” and try to locate Na’alwa.
During the invasion, the military deployed dogs and heavily-armed soldiers who surrounded the building, entered the building firing heavily, shot and killed Na’alwa, and abducted two men who lived in the building with their mother.
Israeli sources said Na’alwa was killed by undercover soldiers of the Yamam special forces, who briefly exchanged fire with him, while he was hiding in a home in Askar refugee camp, east of Nablus.
They added that Ashraf was chased, for several hours, through many areas until reaching the home, before dozens of soldiers, intelligence officers and undercover soldiers managed to surround the building.
The soldiers also abducted, detained and interrogated many Palestinians, who said “admitted to providing aid to him,” in addition to alleging that Ashraf “intended to carry out more attack against Israeli targets.”
Israeli media sources quoted senior military and security officials stating that the first weeks after fatal shooting in the settlement, the hunt for Na’alwa was largely focused on extensive searches of homes, caves and buildings, but later the search became more focused on individuals, who were detained and “interrogated,” on suspicion of providing aid to him.
After killing the young man, the soldiers invaded many areas in Tulkarem, especially in Shweika area, near the Annexation Wall, and fired a barrage of gas bombs, rubber-coated steel bullets and live rounds, at Palestinian protesters.
The soldiers also attacked journalists, and forced them to leave the area.
It is worth mentioning the repeatedly abducted members of his family, including his father, mother, sisters and brothers, in an attempt to locate him.
Two months ago, the army also issued a demolition order targeting the Na’alwa family home.
Earlier in the day, another Israeli execution operation was carried out, this time targeting Salah Omar Barghouti, 29, who was a suspect in another crime.
In response to the assassination of Na’alwa, the Palestinian resistance party Hamas issued a statement, “The fire of resistance in the West Bank will not die until the occupation is lifted. The death of the two soldiers proves that the option of the Palestinian people is defiance.
The West Bank will continue to support the forces of resistance and the blood of Na’alwa and Barghouti has not been spilled in vain. Hamas and the other resistance factions will continue to support activity to avenge their death.”

Saleh Omar Saleh Barghouthi, 29
Undercover Israeli soldiers assassinated, on Wednesday evening, a Palestinian Taxi driver, near Surda village, north of the central West Bank city of Ramallah; the army claimed the Palestinian was allegedly “involved” in the shooting targeting colonialist settlers, last Sunday.
The slain Palestinian has been identified as Saleh Omar Saleh Barghouthi, 29; eyewitnesses said he was driving his taxi when the undercover Israeli soldiers, driving an old commercial Mercedes, ambushed him, and opened fire at him, before abducting him while he was still alive, but severely injured and bleeding.
The army later said the Palestinian died from his wounds in a hospital in occupied Jerusalem.
Eyewitnesses said that the taxi remained in the middle of the road, after the soldiers shot Saleh, and added that a young man, identified as Wa’ad Barghouthi, tried to remove it from the road, but the undercover forces attacked and abducted him too.
Eyewitnesses said the undercover soldiers instantly opened fire at the car after ambushing it, in what appeared to be a clear assassination, not an attempt to abduct and imprison him.
The soldiers also abducted Ala’ Tarifi, who owns the Taxi company, when he tried to ask about Saleh’s condition.
Hours after killing Barghouthi, dozens of soldiers invaded Kobar village, northwest of Ramallah, and stormed his home where they forced his family in one room, and then removed the males from the property, before conducting extensive and violent searches.
The soldiers assaulted the family, and hurled concussion grenades in the property, eyewitnesses said.
The invasion into the village led to protests, and the army fired dozens of rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs.
Medical sources said the soldiers injured several Palestinian, including a child, and prevented a Palestinian ambulance from transferring the wounding child to a hospital in Ramallah.
The sources added that the army prevented many ambulances from entering Kobar.
The soldiers also invaded Ein Misbah area in the al-Biereh nearby city, and confiscated a Palestinian car, which looks similar to the one used in the shooting targeting the settlers.
Dozens of Palestinians hurled stones at the soldiers, while the army fired gas bombs and concussion grenades at them and at many homes and cars.
Among the wounded Israelis in the shooting incident is a pregnant woman, and her husband, who both remain hospitalized.
Israeli Ynet News has reported, Wednesday, that the doctors had to perform an emergency cesarean section on the injured mother, but the infant was announced dead.
In related news, the soldiers invaded Nabi Saleh village, northwest of Ramallah, and fired a barrage of gas bombs, concussion grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets at local protesters.

The Palestine Liberation Organization’s Committee for Prisoners and Freed Prisoners has launched a solidarity campaign for burn victim Israa Jaabis, who is being held in an Israeli jail.
Entitled “Freedom and Treatment: A Right for Prisoner Israa”, the campaign has been set up to pressure Israeli occupation forces to provide Israa with medical care, to tend to her wounds.
In a statement, the Committee called for Palestinians to get involved in the campaign, which is also being run on social media.
According to the statement, the campaign would include sit-ins, meetings and press conferences to be held in front of human rights and media organisations to highlight the plight of Palestinian prisoners to them.
“Decent treatment and proper medical care are basic rights for prisoners,” the Committee said, according to Days of Palestine, stressing that “the Palestinian prisoners are deprived of these rights inside the Israeli jails.”
Jaabis, age 32, was arrested in October of 2015, after a faulty cooking gas cylinder burst into flames, in her car, 500 meters from an Israeli checkpoint in the occupied West Bank.She was severely wounded in the blaze, suffering burns across 65 per cent of her body, including wounds to her face and hands. After she was arrested, she was taken to Hadassah Medical Centre, where eight of her fingers were amputated.
Israeli occupation forces accuse Jaabis, who has a ten-year-old son, of attempting to harm Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near the site of the explosion.
