Thousands marched through the streets of Hebron during a funeral procession for Mohammed Suleima, the 17-year-old boy who was shot dead by Israeli paramilitary border police on his birthday.
Protests against the shooting first broke out Wednesday night, with reports of Israeli forces using tear gas and live ammunition against the demonstrators, Al Jazeera reports.
"They have orders to shoot with live bullets now," a resident of Hebron told Al Jazeera Wednesday.
Suleima was unarmed at the time of the shooting and Palestinian sources claim he had failed to heed orders to halt at a military checkpoint because he was hard of hearing--although stories vary.
Some news agencies reported that Suleima had been shot up to six times.
Suleima's family said Israeli forces prevented them from burying hum in the cemetery next to their home, which is close to an Israeli settlement
"We lost a friend, a brother, and a sporting hero," his friend Ahmad Al-Jamal told Ma'an.
Palestinian youth who took to the streets to protest the boy's killing were met with tear gas and rubber bullets again on Thursday.
Tensions have remained high in Hebron, where hundreds of ultra-nationalist Jewish settlers have built heavily-guarded enclaves.
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
