Israeli Forces Continue to Shoot to Kill: Two Palestinians Killed Today
Ref.,: 126/2000
Date: 11 October, 2000
Time: 15.00 GMT
A situation of high tension prevailed in the occupied Palestinian territory this afternoon as a result of the continued use of lethal force by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian civilians. This afternoon Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinians in Tulkarem and Khan Younis.
In Tulkarem refugee camp in the West Bank, Israeli border police this afternoon shot Sami Hassan Salameh, 17 years old, in the lower back, the bullet penetrated his heart, fatally wounding him. According to reports received by PCHR, Sami was shot by a sniper, from a distance of 100 metres.
In Khan Younis refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, dozens of Palestinian children and youths demonstrated this afternoon near the Nurieh Israeli military camp, the largest Israeli military installation in the Gaza Strip, located about 500 metres west of the refugee camp.
The Israeli soldiers had fired tear gas at the demonstrators, and rubber coated metal bullets. Apparently one single bullet of live ammunition was then fired at Karam Omar Qannan, 19 years old. He was shot in his chest and was pronounced dead on arrival at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. In addition a 10 year old child and a 17 year old were shot by rubber coated metal bullets, they were both admitted to Nasser Hospital.
The killing of two Palestinian civilians this afternoon reflects the intention of Israeli occupation forces to escalate the situation and to continue the blood shed in the occupied Palestinian territory. At the same time Israeli settler gangs continue to terrorize Palestinian civilians throughout the occupied territory, attacking them and their property.
The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers since 29 September 2000 increased today to 85 and the casualties increased to approximately 2,200.
