RAMALLAH, Sunday, September 1, 2019 (WAFA) – News about the Palestinian youth who died from wounds during protests in the Gaza Strip hit the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies today.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that a Palestinian youth died on Saturday from wounds sustained by Israeli gunfire during the protests at Gaza border on Friday. The youth, identified as Badreddin Musa, 25, was shot and critically injured by Israeli soldiers east of Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and was moved to Gaza European Hospital where he died of his wounds.
The dailies also said that Israeli police raided Burj al-Laqlaq club and community center, located just inside Herod‘s Gate, one of the main gates to Jerusalem‘s walled Old City, and ordered it shut down to prevent holding a football tournament for Palestinian families from Jerusalem. The police detained three club officials but later released them.
The papers mentioned that this came hours before the tournament for 10 families from Jerusalem was supposed to kick off at Burj al-Laqlaq, which has a grass football field.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said that Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said that the issue of the killing of Isra Gharib, 21, from Beit Sahour, a town near Bethlehem, has become a public issue that demands from the government to issue laws to protect women, hinting that her death might be "honor killing."
"With our full commitment to the provisions of the Palestinian law and the confidentiality of investigations and not to rush in prejudging what happened in respect to the deceased woman and the feelings of her family, we nevertheless are required to strengthen the system of legislation protecting Palestinian women, the defender or our national project who are our mothers and sisters and our partners in the struggle and building without whom we would not be a community," said Shtayyeh in a tweet.
The three dailies reported that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said that the response to the Israeli drone attack has been decided.
