IOF soldiers kill 3 Palestinian activists in cold blood

NABLUS, - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed three Palestinian resistance fighters in cold blood in a pre dawn raid on Saturday in the Old City of Nablus and wounded seven others including the pregnant wife of one of the activists.

Dr. Ghassan Hamdan, in charge of the medical relief society in northern West Bank, told the PIC in a telephone statement that large numbers of IOF troops stormed Nablus shortly after midnight Friday and besieged a number of Palestinian homes in the Old City.

He added that the soldiers broke into the home of Ghassan Abu Sharkh and shot him in the chest and legs as soon as he opened the door killing him instantly.

The same scenario was repeated in the home of Ra'ed Al-Surkaji who was hit with a bullet in the head and a number of bullets below his chest, Hamdan said, adding that his wife Tahani, who is pregnant, was wounded in her feet and was carried to Rafidia hospital.

Hamdan said that IOF troops blasted the home of Anan Subuh in downtown Nablus and later found him in another house and shot him dead in cold blood.

Nablus citizens accused the security militias of Mahmoud Abbas, whose term in office as PA chief had expired last January, of collusion in the crime after they mounted a feverish pursuit of those who shot and killed an Israeli settler a couple of days earlier west of Nablus.

The Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, and the Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, had announced joint responsibility for the attack on Thursday.

Jewish settlers, in reaction to the shooting of the settler, on Friday threw stones at Palestinian vehicles on Friday near Nablus damaging three of them. PIC
