 Palestinian baby dies in Hebron when army lobs teargas into souk

Innocent Jenin man shot dead by IDF

By Arnon Regular

 A Palestinian infant was killed in Hebron yesterday morning near the
city's commercial center after an IDF patrol fired rubber bullets and tear
gas at Palestinians who violated the curfew imposed on the city's Arab
residents.

After the shooting, the body of 14-month-old Aram Mana was brought to Alia
hospital, a few hundred meters from the area of the incident. The infant
girl's parents live in the nearby town of Dahariya, south of Mt. Hebron.

"The baby arrived at the hospital with serious respiratory difficulties and
all efforts to revive her failed," said Alia director Dr. Ismail Badir.

"Tear gas is a full-fledged weapon, especially when used against infants
and old persons," said Badir.

Immediately after the incident, violent demonstrations broke out with stone
throwing against IDF troops, and the hospital reported that eight injured
civilians were brought there with light injuries.

In the afternoon, the corpse of the infant was taken by her family to
Dahariya for burial.

The IDF Spokesman announced that the army lacked enough evidence to
determine the veracity of the claim that the infant was killed due to tear
gas inhalation.

In another incident, Mahmoud Hasim, 50, was killed in an IDF operation last
night in Jenin. Sources said that the army was operating in the
neighborhood of Marah, in the western part of the city.

Palestinians said the IDF had rounded up a number of militants affiliated
with Islamic Jihad, but said Hasim, who was not affiliated with any
organization, was shot through his apartment window.

An IDF spokesperson expressed regret last night for Hasim's death. "Armed
Palestinians opened fire at a group of soldiers in the city, and an
innocent man was killed in the fire exchange," the spokesperson said.
