Palestinian teenager killed in cold blood at Qalandiya checkpoint
Israeli soldiers at dawn Friday
cold-bloodedly killed 17-year-old Mohamed al-Kasbah at Qalandiya
checkpoint where scores of Palestinians were pouring in to cross into
occupied Jerusalem to attend prayers at the Aqsa Mosque.
Eyewitnesses
said Kasbah was trying to direct the movement of vehicles near the
checkpoint where there was a traffic jam when Israeli soldiers opened
fire at him and seriously wounded him.
They added that the teenager suffered a critical bullet injury in the head and proclaimed dead in Ramallah hospital.
The
victim is the brother of Yaser and Samer al-Kasbah, who were killed by
Israeli soldiers in Qalandiya refugee camp in May 2002.
IOF kidnaps two Palestinians from homes in Awarta
On the other hand, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Friday stormed Awarta town, south of Nablus, and kidnapped two Palestinian young men from their homes.
Local
sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that a large
number of Israeli soldiers aboard military vehicles invaded Awarta at two o'clock after midnight and raided the house of Abdul-Salam al-Jamal, an anti-settlement activist.
They
added that the invading troops interrogated Jamal for several hours,
ransacked the house and confiscated a computer and cellphones before
taking him blindfolded and handcuffed to an undeclared place.
The IOF also questioned and arrested Hazza'a Lawlah during a similar raid on his house in the town.
Both
of the young men had been ex-detainees in Israeli jails and spent some
time in the Palestinian Authority's detention centers in the West Bank.
