Date: October 4, 2000

Time: 16:00 GMT

At about 14:00 GMT, the Israeli Occupying Forces shot dead a nine-year-old child. The child, Mohammed Yousef Abu A’asi, 9 years old from Bani Suheila near Khan Younis, was shot with a bullet which penetrated his back got out his body through the chest at the junction of Netzarim Settlement “Al-Shohada’ Junction” in one of the most bloody scenes of the Israeli Occupation Forces’ crimes. He immediately died. It is another evidence of the crimes committed by the Israeli Occupation Forces. It seems that the child was walking in an opposite direction to the Israeli Occupation Forces, which had no mercy on his childhood; they shot him dead from behind. The child’s body was transferred to Shefa’ Hospital where he was identified.

PCHR’s field officers at the area of the junction have reported that, in the afternoon, the Israeli Occupying Forces escalated their flagrant violations as they intensified shooting and launching missiles at the junction of Netzarim Settlement “Al-Shohada’ Junction,” which resulted in injuring ten people. At the moment, in another escalation, the Netzarim Settlement is a source of intensive shooting at Palestinian civilians. Smokes are ascending out of an adjacent steel factory, it was bombed by a shell.

At the time of writing this release, PCHR has learned that the Israeli Occupying Forces escalated their flagrant violations in the West Bank. Alla’ Hassan Barghouthi, 24 years old from A’boud of Ramallah Governate was shot dead by the Israeli Occupying Forces. He received a bullet in the chest.
