Three Palestinians from Jerusalem and its suburbs were killed by Israeli settlers and occupation forces in less than 24 hours
Three Palestinians from Jerusalem and its suburbs lost their lives, murdered by Israeli settlers and occupation forces in the Bethlehem area and Qalandia refugee camp, north of Jerusalem.
On Thursday evening, Mohammad Faraj al-Malhi was killed by a settler during an attack on his family's land in the al-Harmala area of Khallat al-Luz, near Bethlehem.
The family stated that settlers forcefully entered the land to take it, but the landowners defended themselves by staying on the property. In response, the armed settlers fired weapons and threw stones at the residents.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported treating al-Malhi for a severe gunshot wound to the head, and he was later pronounced dead. Additionally, his father and brother sustained injuries in the attack.
His funeral procession occurred on Friday afternoon, traveling from al-Badriya Mosque to Sharafat Cemetery in Jerusalem.
In Qalandia refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, two young men, Mustafa Hamad and Sufian Ahmed Saleh Abu Leil (46), died from their wounds after being shot by Israeli occupation forces during a raid on the camp.
Mustafa Hamad was killed early Friday morning when Israeli forces shot him during a raid on the camp shortly after midnight. The forces used live ammunition indiscriminately, causing several injuries and the arrest of one of the wounded.
After Hamad's funeral, Israeli forces raided the camp again, firing heavily at Palestinians leaving the cemetery. Sufian Abu Leil was critically injured in the head and later died.
Israeli forces also raided Mustafa Hamad's mourning tent.
