News about the Palestinian youth was shot dead by the Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin hit the front pages of the three Arabic Palestinian dailies on Thursday.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Ayyam and al-Quds said that Rafiq Riyad Ghannam, 20, sustained severe wounds after being shot by Israeli soldiers during confrontations in the northern West Bank town. Ghannam was shot as he was standing in front of his family’s house before he was detained along with another youth by the heavily-armed soldiers.
The papers said that Israeli occupation forces demolished parts of the old vegetable market in the Old City of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida and Al-Ayyam said that, in dedication to slain Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a huge graffiti of her was drawn on the Israeli apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.
The dailies said that Israeli forces detained 45 Palestinians in large-scale raids across the West Bank.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida and Al-Ayyam said that American ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s has sued its parent company Unilever Plc to block the sale of its Israeli business to a local licensee, saying it was inconsistent with its values to sell its ice cream brand in the occupied West Bank.
Al-Quds said that 125 Israeli settlers raided Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque.
