Palestinian child succumbs to wounds, another wounded in IOF incursions

December 2, 2006

Gaza - A Palestinian child Saturday succumbed to serious wounds after one week of sustaining those wounds in the IOF incursion into northern Gaza after which he was sent to one of the hospitals in the 1948 occupied lands where he was proclaimed dead.

Medical sources announced the death of Ayman Abu Mahadi, 10, after suffering a bullet in the head on 24/11/2006 during an IOF troops' incursion east of Jabalia refugee camp, north of Gaza city.

In Qalqilia, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy was hit with an IOF rubber bullet in his shoulder and his condition was described as "moderate".

Local sources said that IOF soldiers stormed the village of Azon, east of Qalqilia city, and fired at Palestinian youths, who confronted the soldiers' advance with stones, hitting the boy Sanad Shubaita.

Meanwhile, an IOF spokesman said that a Palestinian resistance missile slammed into an open area to the west of Negev desert, adjacent to the Gaza Strip, causing no casualties or damage.

The AMB, armed wing of Fatah Movement, claimed the attack with an upgraded, homemade Aqsa-103 missile in retaliation to the IOF soldiers' murder of a Palestinian child in Beita village, Nablus district, earlier Friday and the IOF troops' continued aggressions on the West Bank cities and villages.

In an unrelated development, Israeli premier Ehud Olmert said on Friday that his government would not make a deal with Lebanese Hizbullah party over an exchange of prisoners if it was not sure that the two soldiers captured by that party were still alive.

Hebrew daily 'Ma'ariv' quoted Olmert as saying during a meeting with European ambassadors accredited to the Hebrew state on Tuesday that Hizbullah's refusal to allow a Red Cross visit to those two soldiers did not send an encouraging sign.

He said that there would be no serious negotiations without no signs of life of those two soldiers, adding that Israel won't give Hizbullah what it wants in return for coffins.
