The Israeli army killing of 14-year-old Amro Lutfi Khmour in Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem was highlighted on the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today.
Al-Ayyam daily described the killing of Khmour as “execution”, while al-Quds daily said he is the third to be killed in the camp by Israeli soldiers in 40 days.
The third daily, al-Hayat al-Jadida, said that in addition to the killing of Khmour, the Israeli occupation forces injured and arrested others throughout the West Bank and demolished commercial structures at the entrance to the town of Hizma, east of Jerusalem, and a residential room in Beit Hanina neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem.
Al-Ayyam and al-Quds also reported on the demolitions in Hizma and said it included 15 commercial structures. They also reported on the confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, while al-Hayat al-Jadida said soldiers detained an Italian solidarity activist in Dheisheh camp.
Al-Ayyam said settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles driving on West Bank roads near Hawwara and al-Mughyer, north of Ramallah.
Al-Quds reported on the videotape made public yesterday by Hamas of its Israeli captive who asked his Israeli government for how long he is going to remain in captivity and said that the Israeli government considered the tape a hoax.
It also said Israel is getting ready to prevent celebrations for the release of freedom fighter Maher Younis, from the Israeli-Arab town of Ara, after spending 40 years in prison. He is expected to be released in two days.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said President Mahmoud Abbas arrived in Cairo yesterday to take part in a trilateral summit with the Egyptian and Jordanian leaders.
It said Fatah freedom fighters in Israeli jails have declared full alert in the prisons to face Israeli measures against them.
Al-Ayyam said Member States of the United Nations have rejected Israeli punitive measures against the Palestinian people, leadership and civil society.
