| 2008-08-25 |
| Another term to add to the list... On Thursday, 21 August 2008, a Palestinian was killed in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Yunis by an aimless gunshot while gunmen were training in a nearby place. In the same context, on Friday, 22 August 2008, a child was wounded in similar circumstances in Rafah. These incidents are part of the state of security chaos prevailing in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Whadda ya think, Mahmoud? I dunno, sarge. It's a mystery. A mystery, I tells ya! According to investigations conducted by PCHR, at approximately 16:30 on Thursday, 21 August 2008, Ahmed Mousa al-Qedra, 37, from Khan Yunis, was wounded by an aimless gunshot to the chest when he was in front of his shop of vegetables in al-Amal neighborhood in the west of the town. He was hospitalized, but medical efforts to save his life failed. According to eyewitnesses, sounds of shooting were heard in a space area where armed groups were conducting military training to the west of al-Amal neighborhood. They hate these vegetables. Stay away from the vegetables! So the tomatoes and the cucumbers were at it again ... The spokesman of the police, Islam Shahwan, stated to PCHR that the police initiated an investigation into the incident and called upon armed groups to conduct their military training away from populated areas. Hey, you know you guys just shot somebody in the chest/ Oh...sorry. Well be more careful next time, okay? Ummmmm...sure. In the same context, at approximately 16:00 on Friday, 22 August 2008, 4-year-old Saleh 'Alaa' al-Din al-Mudallal, from Tal al-Sultan neighborhood in the west of Rafah, was seriously wounded by a gunshot to the back from an unknown sources, when he was playing together with other children in a neighbor's house. According to the child's father, sounds of shooting were heard in a training site of Palestinian armed groups near the house. C'mon, pops. Lighten up. It's for the Resistance™! |
