Today in Kafr
Qaddum, Palestine the occupying Israeli defense forces shot three
young men in the legs with 22's and a fourth with a rubber bullet at
a demonstration protesting the road closure. Two illegal Israeli
settlements located between Kafr Qaddum and Jit have blocked the
Palestinian road and the occupying Israeli defense force shoots
protesters that just want the right to travel from one village to the
other. The protest has been happening every Friday at 12:30 pm and
will also be every Saturday at 2:30 pm.
Standing at the end
of the road, protesters started a fire. The occupying Israeli defense
force advanced towards the crowd. Without using tear gas to disperse
the crowds as was done the week earlier, the Israeli soldiers simply
began to shoot at the unarmed Palestinian boys. The crowd began to
run away from the seven soldiers. Several boys carried the injured to
the ambulance. The Meta Peace Team, press and ISM were there to
witness the event.
There was one
Israeli man standing against the Israeli soldiers and yelling in
Hebrew “You are criminals using live ammunition against unarmed
people” and “Your commanding officer is sending you to hell.”
Road closures near illegal Israeli settlements are just one example
of how the Israeli settlers control the military and governmental
policy to some extent.
