Three Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli gunfire in Jenin
2003-01-15
IslamOnline & News Agencies
Three Palestinians, including two teenagers, were killed by Israeli soldiers near the northern West Bank city of Jenin early Wednesday, January 15, Palestinian security sources said. Hazaa Shadid, 16, was killed when Israeli occupation troops opened fire during an operation in Qabatiya south of Jenin, the sources said.
He was:
A. Going to the store for his Mom
B. Just standing there, doing nothing
C. Firing an AK-47 and screaming "Death to infidels!"
D. Rescuing a puppy
You'll have to take your pick as to what the answer is, since they didn't mention that in the article.

Mohedin Hamza, 16, was shot in the stomach after hurling stones at Israeli soldiers during a military operation in the Tulkarem refugee camp, the sources said.
"Avner! Rock at 11 o'clock!"
"Got 'im!"
"Dang! Knocked it right out of his hand! Try that one over there!"
"Oops. A little low on that one..."

The second victim, Ribhi Zakarna, 44, was suffering from mental problems, according to the Palestinian sources.
In Paleostine, how can you tell?
He was shot dead in the street during an Israeli military operation in Kabatiya, also in the northern West Bank.
Guess he suffers no more. I think this is the guy I heard about on FoxNews this morning. He kept approaching then IDF guys. They told him to stop or they'd shoot, he didn't and they did.
A dozen armored vehicles, backed by helicopters and jeeps occupied part of Jenin, Palestinian security sources said adding that the Israeli army encircled a building where four members of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction had taken refuge. Two Palestinians received gunshot wounds.

#2  I'm not sure I can take that much surprise at one gulp. I think I'll go sit down...

#1  The young palo lad in Tulkarem apparently wasn't throwing stones: Early Wednesday in Tul Karm, IDF troops entering the city were met with strong resistance from residents, among them a 17-year-old Palestinian who detonated six bombs at the incoming soldiers before he was shot by IDF fire, the army and witnesses said.
