In what seems just seconds before a child was potentially shot dead, a Palestinian using his phone to film the unfolding events, can be heard shouting “hey you don’t shoot,” at a soldier pointing his automatic gun at a female child, who reportedly carried a knife.
The Israeli soldiers claimed that the child carried a knife, and was trying to cross the military roadblock, close to the entrance of Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied East Jerusalem. A video, captured by a bystander showed the child, 14, on her knees, motionless, and the voice of the person behind the camera can be heard shouting: |
“Hey, you, don’t shoot, don’t shoot her, don’t shoot, she is young, just subdue her…” the soldier remains aiming his gun right on the girl, then the man behind the camera shouts again “Don’t shoot her; man, don’t shoot her… she is young, just cuff her, man… just control her, subdue her…”
The child remains motionless, and the man is heard once again saying, “just don’t shoot her, cuff her…,” then he started shooting at the child, “just don’t move, remain as are, stay still.” Then the officers are seen cuffing the child, and a voice is heard saying “she has a knife in her bag.”
Many Palestinians have been recently killed just because the soldiers suspected they “intended to carry out a stabbing attack,” without even attempting to attack anybody. Her name remained unknown until the time of this report.
People witnessing the unfolding events said they were so concerned that the child was about to be killed although she was motionless, because the soldier kept aiming his rifle at her, while standing in a shooting position, ready to pull the trigger at any second.
In related news, the soldiers abducted a young man, identified as Mohammad Awad, from Aqbat as-Saraya, in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, and moved him to an unknown destination.

Around 1600 Palestinian political prisoners, held by Israel, continue the hunger strike for the 34th consecutive day, determined to achieve their demands, while Israel continues to refuse to hold serious talks, and instead, is trying to divide them, in addition to punishing many by forcing them into solitary confinement, and repeatedly transferring many to different prisons.
The Media Committee of the Palestinian Detainees Committee has reported that the “Freedom and Dignity” strike is going through one of the most serious and sensitive stages, and that the detainees are determined to continue until achieving their demands.
It said that the Israeli government has appointed the head of the Shabak, and the Prison Authority, to do whatever is possible to end the hunger strike before U.S. President Donald Trump visits the region, “even if this means adhering to most of the detainees’ demands.”
The Committee stated that Israel tried various methods to end this strike and to break the will of the detainees, but is reaching a dead end amidst the determination of the detainees.
In addition, the committee said that the imprisoned leadership of the strike is the only party that can accept or reject any suggested offers, and will continue to resist all Israel attempts to break the detainees’ unity.
“The striking detainees are very determined to achieve their legitimate demands,” the committee said, “They also reply on public support and solidarity, especially at this delicate stage of the strike.”
The committee also called on media outlets to be aware of Israel’s propaganda regarding the detainees and their strike, and the so-called “leaked information about secret talks between the detainees and the prison authority.”
The detainees are ongoing with the strike, demanding basic rights, guaranteed by International law, and all human rights agreements. These rights include ending solitary confinement policies, allowing them regular visits with their families, and granting them adequate medical attention.

Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) isolated 88 Palestinian hunger striking detainees in Petah Tikva confinement cells.
The hunger striker prisoner Mansour Shreim, who has been participating in the open hunger strike for 33 consecutive days, affirmed that the striking captives are subjected to abuse and ill-treatment by Israeli Prison Service.
The lawyer of Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee, Mutaz Shqeirat, quoted captive Shreim as saying that he has lost 18 kilograms and is suffering from fatigue, exhaustion, constant dizziness and difficulty in movement. The isolation cells do not meet humanitarian standards as every four prisoners are held in one cell, the lawyer pointed out.
Shreim, who met the lawyer on Thursday evening, revealed that the prison doctor and nurse are, most of the time, not available in the clinic in full disregard to the critical health conditions of the striking detainees.

The Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip have already called on citizens in all areas of Palestine to participate today in massive popular angry protests they dubbed as the day of anger in all flashpoints in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza.
In a news conference held in Gaza on Thursday, a spokesman for the resistance factions warned Israeli jailers that “if any hunger striker gets hurt in their prisons, the factions’ armed wing will not stand idly by.”
“If the peaceful activities have proved useless with such arrogant enemy, which only understands the language of force, then we are ready to speak with it in its own language,” the spokesman said.
