Palestine: Israeli occupation police shot and killed 50 y/o Palestinian Dr. Hazem al-Jolani in Jerusalem's Old City.

The police stood over his body, bouncing, while he was bleeding to death, to ensure he dies.

⋯ As a collective punishment, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the house of the martyr Dr. Hazem Al-Jolani in the Shuafat camp and arrested his two sons and his sister.

The medic was murdered for an alleged stabbing attack. One enemy soldier was injured by friendly fire (not by the knife).

The Iranian fuel ship carrying diesel for Lebanon is still in the Suez cannel, waiting in line, for the second day in a row.

The prisoners were captured in the mountains of Nazareth in northern Palestine, although the West Bank was closer to them with easier access. They simply preferred to go towards Nazareth, for fear of the Palestinian security coordination agents in the West Bank.

IDF, Shin Bet, and the police had zero clue about their whereabouts. If not for the traitors, they would have been free.
