Newspapers Review: Three Palestinian killed by Israeli gunfire focus of dailies

RAMALLAH, Monday, April 11, 2022 (WAFA) – News about the three Palestinians who were killed yesterday by Israeli forces hit the front pages of the three Arabic Palestinian dailies on Monday.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that the Israeli forces yesterday shot dead two Palestinian women and young man in the occupied West Bank cities of Bethlehem and Hebron.

The dailies said that Israeli occupation forces shot dead a Palestinian woman after they opened fire at her while she was crossing an Israeli military checkpoint near the village of Husan, to the west of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

An unidentified Palestinian woman was shot and killed today evening by Israeli forces’ fire in the city of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, as reported in the dailies.

The paper added that a young man was shot dead by the Israeli forces in Bethlehem.

In response to the events, Prime Minister, Mohammed Shtayyeh, in a statement condemned the Israeli army killing of a Palestinian woman in her mid-40s in Bethlehem. He held the Israeli government fully responsible for the consequences of this heinous crime.

The European Union expressed shock at the Israeli army’s killing of a Palestinian woman in Bethlehem.

“Horrified by the killing of a Palestinian woman by ISF near Bethlehem. Our deepest condolences to her family. Such excessive use of lethal force against an unarmed civilian is unacceptable. This incidence must be swiftly investigated and the perpetrators be brought to justice,” said the EU in a tweet.

Al-Quds said that the Israel occupation's navy opened fire on Palestinian fishermen as they were sailing off the north of the Gaza Strip, forcing them to return to shore.

It added that Israeli forces yesterday night opened fire at a Palestinian vehicle at Ad-Dhahiriya crossing to the south of Hebon.

The paper said Israeli forces broke into al-Aqsa mosque.
