Palestinian shot dead during clashes with Israeli troops near Nablus
2021-05-29
[IsraelTimes] Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", media reports that Zakaria Hamayel, 28, was a member of the terror group; IDF says it is looking into incident.

A Paleostinian man was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers during festivities near his hometown of Beita close to Nablus on Friday afternoon, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said.

The Israel Defense Forces said hundreds of Paleostinians threw stones and lit swathes of ground ablaze. The army said it had used riot dispersal means and Roger bullets, a slightly less lethal form of live fire.

"At this stage, the cause of the Paleostinian’s wound is unknown. The incident is being investigated," the Israeli military said.

Paleostinian media identified the man as Zakaria Maher Hamayel, a 28-year-old resident of Beita. Official Hamas radio reported that Hamayel was an activist in the Islamist terror group.

"We’re Mohammad Deif’s men," mourners chanted at Hamayel’s funeral on Friday evening, referring to the shadowy commander of Hamas’s military wing.

The shooting came as Beita residents protested the establishment of an Israeli outpost near their town on Friday afternoon. The outpost, known as Evyatar, has been built and demolished a few times since it was first erected in 2013.

Dozens of residents marched towards the outpost before clashing with Israeli soldiers on the scene, Paleostinian media reported.

In footage from the scene, Paleostinians can be seen hurling stones at Israeli troops, who fired tear gas at protesters.

The PA health ministry said Hamayel had been shot in the chest with live bullets.

Another 22 were maimed in festivities near Salfit in the central West Bank, according to the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy medical service. The Red Islamic Thingy said two maimed with live bullets were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

Tensions in the West Bank have risen in recent weeks following a recent round of fighting between Israel and Paleostinian terror groups in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
