AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In the second killing on Sunday evening, Israeli forces shot and killed Mahmoud Sami Khalil Eram, near the Jbara military checkpoint, south of Tulkarem in the northern West Bank.
Aram was from Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, and had come to the West Bank in 2019 for treatment of a medical condition. Palestinians from the Gaza Strip are rarely, if ever, allowed to enter the West Bank. This utter separation of the two Palestinian Territories has ripped apart families and kept the Palestinian people divided, unable to meet in person across the Israeli-controlled barrier.
The Israeli military claimed that Aram was shot while trying to cross the Israeli-installed border fence between the West Bank and Israel when he was shot. In a statement, military officials stated that soldiers “spotted a suspect who attempted to illegally cross the security fence” near the city of Tulkarem and fired at him. They added, “The soldiers shot at him in accordance with procedures. The suspect was taken for medical care.”
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the identity of the deceased as Mahmud Eram. He was taken to the Sheba Hospital in central Israel, where he died of his wounds.
The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that Israeli troops shot and killed Eram near the Jabara military checkpoint.
This shooting of Aram came just after Israeli forces stationed in the southern part of the West Bank shot and killed a Palestinian teen there, claiming that he had trespassed onto the land of the illegal colonial settlement of Tuqu’.
