Two Girls, Two Shots to the Head

Palestinian 15-year-olds among growing number of children hit by Israeli snipers during 'Days of Penitence'

Islam Dwidar's classmates were still taking in her shocking death - the teacher weeping outside before facing the girls, her closest friend recounting how they walked to school together each day - when the news arrived about Tahreer Abu El Jidyan.

The two 15-year-old pupils at Jabaliya's school were both shot in the head by Israeli soldiers inside their homes just a few blocks and several hours apart. Islam died almost immediately after the bullet smashed through her forehead as she baked bread with her mother in their yard on Sunday. Tahreer is still on life support at a Gaza hospital after an operation to remove shards of shattered skull from her brain.

We knew the Israeli soldiers were around, we knew they had snipers in the buildings on our street but we didn't expect what happened. They just shot her in the head. Her brains spilled out. She said: 'Mum, I'm hit'. She praised God and she collapsed."

There were two bullets. The first struck Tahreer in the head. As she fell, the second hit the wall behind her. "I've no doubt a sniper shot her deliberately. There was no fighting in the area. There were no other shots, only the ones that hit Tahreer," said her mother.

With her stood Tahreer's 14-year-old brother, Naser, who was wounded by shrapnel last week. Israeli forces killed their father 11 years ago during the first intifada.

Mrs Abu El Jidyan regrets preventing Tahreer from walking to school on Sunday morning. She thought it would be too dangerous to venture out of their home in Jabaliya's Sikka neighbourhood because it is on the edge of the area occupied by Israeli troops and tanks last week. Snipers are posted in buildings overlooking their street and a tank is less than a block away.

But the killing went on as the conflict claimed the life of another teenage girl in the Gaza strip yesterday. Palestinian medics said Israeli soldiers fired about 20 bullets into 13- year-old Iman al-Hams, including five into her head.

Five shots to the head. Five shots into the head of the world's abandoned people, the indigenous Palestinians.

Five shots to the head by member of the ZOF (ZIONIST OCCUPATION FORCE) that has been slowly strangling the life out of Palestine for over 60 years, all in pursuit of the Zionist dream of Eretz Israel.

Five shots to the head of some children, bought and paid for by American tax dollars.

From those noted lovers of peace, Israel.

The only peace Israel wants is: a "piece" of Jordan; a "piece" of Syria; a "piece" of Lebanon; a "piece" of Egypt; a "piece" of Iraq; a "piece" of Saudi Arabia and whatever "pieces" are left after Israel finishes it's genocidal extermination of the Palestinians.

Thank you Made Brani

I agree

There is no "conflict" between Israelis and Palestinians. There is a program of genocide.

Likewise, there was no "conflict" between Israel and Lebanon last year. It was a brazen, murderous attack by Israel. Those children killed in Qana II--were they in "conflict"?

And if there is merely a "conflict" in Palestine, then the entire "holocaust" was merely a "conflict" between Jews and Nazis.

Conflict or Liquidation?

The term "conflict" is as misplaced as if used in connection with a killing spree in a college or shopping mall!

When Israeli soldiers enter Gaza to liquidate girls who help their mothers bake bread it has nothing to do with "conflict". It is murder. Those politicians who condone and facilitate these actions financially and in other ways share responsibily for the crimes.

vanish from the pages of time.

they are so brave, for azraeloos! just think of how scared that stupid suprema-yid was when he pre-emptively shot the young girls because they were going to feed the bread to their brothers, whom after watching their family systematically 'cleansed', will now be part of the army that destroys the zionite regime!

the zionites are deliberately attempting to force Hizbullah to go on the offensive, they will commit their usual war-crimes, if their starving-sellout-pawns won't do it for them, by proxy!!
