by Israeli forces as he was attempting to render aid to another shot

on 31 March 2022.</p><small>
<span>APA images</span></small><p>Three
Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in separate incidents on
Thursday morning in the occupied West Bank, including a child.</p>
<p>Israeli occupation forces invaded Jenin refugee camp to conduct
arrests supposedly in connection with Tuesday’s incident near Tel Aviv
where a Palestinian from the Jenin area <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/israel-seeks-revenge-after-palestinian-kills-5-near-tel-aviv">killed</a> five people before he was fatally shot.</p>
<p>Tel Aviv daily <em>Haaretz</em> <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/three-palestinians-wounded-in-gunfire-exchange-with-israeli-army-in-jenin-1.10710447">reported</a>
that the raid on Jenin refugee camp was carried out in part by
Duvdevan, an elite Israeli military death squad whose members often
disguise themselves as Palestinians in order to carry out <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/charlotte-silver/israeli-undercover-units-murder-palestinian-civilian-was-part-training">extrajudicial executions</a>.</p>
<p>Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinians in the camp.</p>
<p>An Israeli soldier exited the military vehicle, took up a shooting position, and fired 15 rounds of live ammunition.</p>
<p>Yazid al-Saadi, 22, was shot in the back of the head.</p>
<p>As 16-year-old Sanad Muhammad Khalil Abu Atiya was approaching him to render aid, he was fatally shot in the chest, <a href="https://www.dci-palestine.org/israeli_forces_shoot_kill_16_year_old_palestinian_boy_in_jenin">according</a> to a field investigation by Defense for Children International-Palestine.</p>
<p>Abu Atiya’s killing brings to five the number of Palestinian children killed by Israel since the beginning of the year.</p>
<p>Al-Saadi’s picture was circulated by local media:

Israeli occupation forces, according to the ministry, also shot at least
14 Palestinians with live ammunition, injuring three seriously.
<p>They also attacked a public hospital in Jenin with tear gas.</p>
<p>Medical staff suffered breathing difficulties and there was panic in
the nursery, pediatrics and surgery departments, the Palestinian health
ministry said. Babies had to be <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mohps/videos/294192979530732/">evacuated</a>.

<h2>Stabbing</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, a Palestinian man reportedly stabbed an Israeli settler
using a screwdriver on a bus near the Efrat settlement, south of the
occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.</p>
<p>Nidal Juma Jaafreh, 30, was shot and killed by an Israeli civilian on the bus. His picture was shared on social media:

The settler is in serious but stable condition, <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israeli-moderately-wounded-after-stabbing-attack-on-west-bank-bus-1.10710569">according</a> to <em>Haaretz</em>.
<p>This comes as Prime Minister Naftali Bennett encouraged Israeli citizens to carry weapons.</p>
<p>“What is expected of you, citizens of Israel? Alertness and responsibility,” he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPt3awMVb_Y">said</a> in a video address on Wednesday.</p>
<p>“Whoever has a license to carry a weapon, this is the time to carry it.”</p>
<h2>Escalation</h2>
<p>Israel’s routine killings of Palestinians pass largely without
comment or action from the so-called international community. Israel has
already killed more than two dozen Palestinians since the start of the
year.</p>
<p>But as usual, it is only when the violence engulfs Israelis that a sense of escalation and crisis prevails.</p>
<p>That is what has happened amid a string of Palestinian acts of
violence against Israelis inside Israel and in the occupied West Bank
this month.</p>
<p>Now, the Israeli military is preparing for the possibility of large-scale confrontations with Palestinians during Ramadan.</p>
<p>May will mark the first anniversary of last year’s uprising across historic Palestine, when the Israeli military carried out an <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/may-2021-attack-gaza">11-day killing spree</a> in the besieged Gaza Strip and across the occupied West Bank.</p>
<p>In Gaza alone, more than 250 Palestinians were killed, including at least 67 children. Israel <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/families-obliterated-lives-destroyed/33386">obliterated</a> entire families in their homes.

On Wednesday, Israel <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-israel-preparing-for-a-months-long-escalation-after-fatal-terror-attacks-1.10709937">deployed</a> large numbers of additional soldiers throughout the occupied West Bank and around the Gaza Strip.
<p>In a rare move, soldiers will also reinforce Israeli police operations inside Israel, <em>Haaretz</em> said.</p>
<p>Israeli police have <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-police-request-to-limit-temple-mount-entry-for-palestinians-ahead-of-ramadan-1.10709760">requested</a>
that entry to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem
during Ramadan be restricted to Palestinians over 60 years of age.
Israeli military policy recommends men 45 years and over be allowed to
enter.</p>
<p>Any further tightening of Israel’s already draconian restrictions on
Palestinians’ freedom of movement and worship during Ramadan is likely
to be an additional source of tension and provocation.</p>
<p>As if to pour gasoline on the fire, Israeli occupation forces allowed Itamar Ben-Gvir, an extreme-right Israeli lawmaker, <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-far-right-israeli-lawmaker-to-make-controversial-visit-to-temple-mount-on-thursday-1.10710148">to enter</a> the al-Aqsa mosque compound on Thursday.
</p><div id="gmail-file-117946">
<blockquote><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Follow up: Israeli right-wing Kenesset member Ben Gvir is currently in Al Aqsa Mosque Yard along with intensive ISF presence <a href="https://t.co/lIwcxtTpVF">pic.twitter.com/lIwcxtTpVF</a></p>— Local Focus - Security Alerts (@LocalFocus1) <a href="https://twitter.com/LocalFocus1/status/1509385212714799107?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2022</a></blockquote>
</div>
Settler provocateurs like Ben-Gvir often go to the compound on the pretext that it is a Jewish religious duty.
<p>However, <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/1.4706117">since</a> Israel
occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, its top rabbis have consistently ruled
that Jews should not enter the area, which Jews call Temple Mount, both
for <a href="https://stljewishlight.org/news/world-news/dont-visit-temple-mount-rabbis-say/">religious reasons</a> and to <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/chief-rabbi-jews-can-t-go-to-temple-mount-1.5325756">avoid</a> <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/citing-danger-top-haredi-rabbis-urge-avoiding-visits-to-western-wall-on-shavuot/">exacerbating</a> tensions.</p>
<p>However, more recently the Israeli government has been <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/24/world/middleeast/israel-temple-mount-prayer.html">allowing</a> settler extremists whose goal is to destroy and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/these-are-israeli-leaders-who-want-destroy-al-aqsa/21166">replace the al-Aqsa mosque</a> with a Jewish temple to go there and pray.</p>
<p>Ben-Gvir was a central figure in settler provocations in the Sheikh
Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem last year that stoked the
full-scale confrontation.</p>
<p>Even in Israeli terms he is a notorious racist.</p>
<p>One of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/hero-who-murdered-29-palestinians">Ben-Gvir’s heroes</a>
is Baruch Goldstein, the American Jewish settler who murdered 29
Palestinian men and boys during Ramadan prayers in Hebron’s Ibrahimi
mosque in February 1994.</p><br>
