On Sunday over 30 Israeli vehicles, supported by encircling Apache helicopters, invaded the camp. They broke into several homes, turning them into military installations. Israeli soldiers also arrested the 25 year old Palestinian citizen Ahmed Al Issa and two other Palestinians, taking them to unknown locations.

The next morning the children of the refugee camp had had enough and began throwing stones at the Israeli military vehicles, while Israeli soldiers shot at them from the rooftops of homes the soldiers had over taken.

Thursday morning Israeli forces reinvaded the eastern Nablus refugee camp with bulldozers, military jeeps and APCs, while Apache helicopters circle overhead.

The cruelest of the killings in this devastating period was that of two teenagers. Israeli snipers took deadly aim and shot both 17 year old Ahmed Issa and 17 year old Mohammad Al Nator in their necks, immediately killing the boys.

Eyewitnesses reported that they had not participated in any actions in the camp

Sixteen year old Kamal Khalili was shot in his chest with live ammunition at 11:00 this morning in Balata Camp while throwing a stone at Israeli soldiers. The Physicians for Human Rights-Israel reports on Balata Camp and Barta’a enclave and said that IOF injured three Palestinian medical workers in Balata Refugee Camp today. The Israeli army has been waging an incursion into the camp since Sunday this week.

Two of the injured Palestinian medical workers are from the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, a close partner of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel for the past 17 years. Due to army interference their evacuation lasted for over half an hour. Only after intense negotiations were they able to be cleared from the scene.

The third injured Palestinian medical worker, from a local Palestinian medical organization, was removed from the ambulance that was going to transport him to the hospital by Israeli soldiers who took him to Hawara Checkpoint.

Reports from the camp also indicate that medical workers were placed between stone throwers and the Israeli soldiers in what seems to be a use of the “human shield” tactic (have you seen Human Shields before? If not, have a look here). PHR-Israel was amongst other organizations that petitioned the Israeli High Court against the use of this illegal tactic.

About 20 Palestinians were injured today- most of them between the ages of 12 and 22. The Israeli army has reported that two of its soldiers have been injured. Since the start of the incursion eight Palestinians have been killed and over 70 injured. One person is in a state of clinical death and was transferred to Mokassed Hospital today.

Israeli forces are opening fire on ambulances and journalists attempting to work inside the camp. Among the injured is camerman from Nablus TV, Zaid Mashaki.

The nightmare is not over. Palestinian medical sources report that Israeli forces shot a 63 year old taxi driver, Fereh Kuaa, at approximately 3:00 am. Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli forces broke into several houses and buildings in the Al Dahia neighborhood, converting them into military installations.

Now you are telling me that Hamas is terrorist group. What do you call killing 17 years old teenage boys IN THE NECKS and shooting 63 years old Taxi driver and shoting medical works and using them as human shields?

The answer is: STATE TERRORISM. This is the peace loving Israel.

Targeting Nablus and surrounding areas is not a coincidence. If you don’t know, Nablus is the Financial capital for the Palestinians. So this goes along with Israel organized plan to destroy all hopes for Hamas to make it possible to run the new government. Embargo, siege, and now destroying all hopes remain.

But that not all. the Israeli Occupation Forces did not stop what it practice best; killing. Here is also last week report on Israeli Human Rights Violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory:

This is what the Israeli government and its occupying forces are doing in the Holy Land. Enjoy your day!
