The Israeli army attempted to enter the Arab village of Anabta and at least 5 soldiers were injured before retreating. Israeli snipers have stepped up their carefully calculated murder campaign continuing to target Palestinians in the head and heart. The following urgent appeal from The Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees late today from Ramallah: ANOTHER MASSACRE IN THE WEST BANK UPMRC TEAMS SEEING UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS OF INJURIES October 20, Ramallah, 4:00 PM: Israeli forces are injuring unprecedented numbers of Palestinian civilians while using extreme force against demonstrators in the West Bank and today. So far, at least four Palestinians have died from their wounds. One death and forty-one injuries have been reported in Ramallah already. UPMRC First-Aid teams helping the wounded near Ramallah have not seen so many injuries in such a short time. 18-year-old Sa'ir Mahmoud from Am'ari refugee camp died after an Israeli high-velocity bullet passed through his head. A 20-year-old Palestinian is in critical condition after he was hit in the neck with a high-velocity bullet. If he survives, he will be a paraplegic. UPMRC teams in Nablus have just reported that three Palestinian civilians have been killed and 25 injured in clashes with the Israeli army. One of those killed was shot with high-velocity ammunition in the head. Another was shot in the heart. Witnesses report that the third was killed by Israeli soldiers who continued shooting at him after he was already injured. Heated confrontations are also taking place in Tulkarem. We will update you on the situation in the West Bank as we receive more information from our teams in the field. Another UPMRC First-Aid volunteer was injured today, along with two injured yesterday bringing the total number of UPMRC staff and volunteers injured by Israeli fire to twelve. Today in Ramallah, Atef Shbeita, a 37-year-old public health specialist from the Health, Development, Information and Policy Institute, was wounded by a high-velocity sniper bullet while assisting UPMRC First-Aid teams. The bullet grazed his scalp, barely missing his brain. Yesterday in Nablus, Yousef Qatanani, age 30, was shot in his hand with a high-velocity bullet while helping the injured.
