On Saturday, Palestine TV said that a young Palestinian man from Husan village, west of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, suffocated to death after the soldiers locked him in his bakery.
Palestine TV stated that the young man Hazem Nabil Ramadan Da’na, 27, from Doha town, southwest of Bethlehem, died from extreme heat and suffocation in his bakery.
It added that the soldiers first stormed the bakery and forced him to shut it down and leave, however, he later returned to the bakery at night to finish preparing the dough which he had already started when they first invaded his shop.
The soldiers then invaded the bakery again and forced it shut, leaving him inside amidst the intense heat and the lack of oxygen, killing him slowly until he succumbed to the heat and suffocation.
It was only until the next day that when the owners of his neighboring shops came to their shops and saw his car while also noticing that his bakery was closed, and decided to open it, and that is when they saw his body.
Jamal Sabateen, the head of Husan Village Council, said the soldiers prevented Hazem from leaving the bakery and forced him to shut it down while he was still inside.
Sabateen added that the temperature in the bakery was extremely high after it was forced shut.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army has been repeatedly invading the village and forcing the stores shut and has previously forced the young man to close the bakery many times before, but not while he was inside it.
Sabateen voiced an appeal to all human rights groups to intervene and put an end to the Israeli crimes, and violations, and added that all bakeries, pharmacies, and any place that provides vital services, must be allowed to remain open.
“It is clear that the state of Israel never heard of humanity, and continues its crimes with impunity,” Sabateen added.
A video, published by Palestine TV and also posted on social media outlets, shows the young slowly dying in his shop and also shows previous incidents when the soldiers invaded the bakery and forced it to close.
