Israeli occupying soldiers kill Palestinian youth in Jerusalem

August 15, 2022

Israeli occupation soldiers murdered a young Palestinian man while at home in Kafr Aqab neighborhood, north of occupied Jerusalem, local sources said.

The occupying soldiers shot Mohammad Ibrahim Shaham, in his twenties, with a live round in the head after storming his home on Monday dawn.

Shaham's father said an occupying soldier summarily executed Mohammad, who was born in the nearby Qalandia refugee camp, with a live round to the head from point-blank range the moment he opened the door for the soldiers invading his home and proceeded to ransack the property.

The invading soldiers left Shaham bleeding for about 30 minutes before they took his body and withdrew from the town.

The family denied the Israeli occupation military allegations that claimed the martyr attempted to stab the soldiers, adding that the Israeli occupation reports are just meant to justify killing him with a cause or justification.

Protests occurred after the soldiers and undercover officers invaded the refugee camp, before the soldiers shot at least six young men with live rounds in their legs and caused many to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation and abducting several Palestinians.
