On Monday dawn, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian in Jaber neighborhood in Hebron city, in the occupied West Bank, after he reportedly tried to ram a military roadblock with a bulldozer he was driving.
Aref Jaber, a known human rights activist in Hebron, said he heard a barrage of gunfire, and when he looked out of his window, he saw the soldiers firing dozens of live rounds at the bulldozer.
Media sources said the slain young man has been identified as Rajeh Husam Taha Abu Sneina, 18, from Hebron.
The Palestinian was live streaming on social media while driving the bulldozers and headed towards an Israeli military roadblock not far from the illegal Kiryat Arba Israeli colony in the eastern part of the city.
Israeli sources said the soldiers were heading back to their base after a shift near the Ibrahimi Mosque and saw the young man “and noticed what he was doing” before they fired many live rounds and killed him.
An Israeli military spokesperson claimed the Palestinian broke through the military roadblock and was heading to the colony and then he “attempted to ram the soldiers by using the shovel of his bulldozer.”
The Palestinian was live streaming while driving the bulldozers, and after the soldiers killed him and his bulldozer came to a complete halt, they continued to fire a barrage of live fire at him and headed to the side of the bulldozer before continuing to fire at him.
On Monday dawn, a Palestinian child, Adam Al-Jolani, 14, died from serious wounds he suffered when Israeli soldiers shot him on Sunday evening near the Qalandia terminal, north of occupied Jerusalem in the West Bank, after the army also killed three Palestinians.
