Ni'ilin Friday 5-6-09 - Yusuf Aqel Srur was killed by sniper shooting him in his chest

The Israeli army shot Yousef Akil Srour, aged 36 years in the chest with 0.22 caliber live ammunition. He was dead upon arrival to Ramallah Hospital.

Yousef Akil Srour is the 5th Palestinian to be killed by the Israeli army in Nilin during a demonstration against the theft of his land for the construction of the Annexation Wall.

Israeli forces shot Mohammad Mouslah Mousa, aged 15 years, in the lower chest shortly after shooting Srour. He was taken to Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Ramallah.

Additionally, the army shot another 3 demonstrators today with 0.22 caliber live ammunition; one in the leg, one in the side and one in the shoulder.

As of Friday, 5 June 2009, Israeli forces have shot 35 people with live ammunition during demonstrations in the village of Nilin.

Israeli occupation forces have murdered five Nilin residents during demonstrations against the confiscation of their land and critically injured one international solidarity activist.

Ahmed Mousa (10) was shot in the forehead with live ammunition on 29 July 2008. The following day, Yousef Amira (17) was shot twice with rubber-coated steel bullets, leaving him brain dead. He died a week later on 4 August 2008. Arafat Rateb Khawaje (22), was the third Nilin resident to be killed by Israeli forces. He was shot in the back with live ammunition on 28 December 2008. That same day, Mohammed Khawaje (20), was shot in the head with live ammunition, leaving him brain dead. He died three days later in a Ramallah hospital. Tristan Anderson (37), an American citizen, was shot with a high velocity tear gas projectile on 13 March 2009 and is currently in Tel Hashomer hospital. Yousef Akil Srour (36), was shot with 0.22 caliber live ammunition in the chest on 5 June 2009 and pronounced dead upon arrival at Ramallah hospital.

In total, 35 people have been shot by Israeli forces with live ammunition.

Since May 2008, residents of Nilin village have been demonstrating against construction of the Apartheid Wall. Despite being deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2004, the occupation continues to build a Wall, further annexing Palestinian land.

Nilin will lose approximately 2500 dunums of agricultural land when the construction of the Wall is completed. Nilin consisted of 57,000 dunums in 1948, reduced to 33,000 dunums in 1967, currently is 10,000 dunums and will be 7,500 dunums after construction of the Wall.

Shame on Israel!!

[GONFEREH1]

your comments don´t only speak of ignorance but of hatred and sheer stupidity. what Israel is doing now, can only be compared to the nazi Germany. It is not surprising that all over the world, Israel is becoming a synonim of horror, terror and not of Holy land as it should be.

You all are part of the problem. Name calling. Insults. Blind to the truths. Such trash only makes the world uglier than the Israelis make it. Illegal occupation is illegal occupation. A country founded on lies and murder will, in the long run, die as it deserves. Israel will not survive but it is nasty enough to want to take the rest of us with it.

The border guard who shot him was dismissed from his unit and sent to prison. It was an accident, the .22mm round is for the legs only to be used only when gas and rubber bullets do not work in dispersing the riot. These people are rioting against the construction of the security fence that seperates the Jews from the Arabs and helped stop the suicide bomber scourge of the second intifada.
