“The outcome of
the Israeli aggression on Jenin at dawn today: a 29-year-old martyr and 16
wounded with bullets and shrapnel were admitted to hospitals,” the ministry
said.
Palestinian
official news agency, Wafa, identified the dead man as Mohammed Musa Mohammed
Sabaaneh, 29.
Sabaaneh’s father,
Musa Sabaaneh told AFP that a soldier “inside a jeep fired a bullet” at his
son.
“We were asleep and
did not know the news. We received a call that my son was seriously injured,”
he said.
Thousands of
mourners gathered in
Jenin as Sabaaneh’s body was paraded through the streets
at his funeral. Laid alongside his body was an assault rifle emblazoned with
the emblem of Saraya Al-Quds, the armed wing of Palestinian resistance movement
Islamic Jihad.
Human rights
activists say Israel’s policy of demolishing the homes of suspected attackers
amounts to collective punishment — illegal under international law.
