This last Thursday night, Amnesty global and Doctors Without Borders (MSF) condemned the killing of Abdullah Shalaldah by undercover israeli occupation forces inside al-Ahli hospital in Hebron.
Israeli forces have responded with force, using live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas and stun grenades against protesters.
Footage said to be from a security camera at the hospital and posted to Israeli news sites showed at least a dozen men, a few wearing traditional Palestinian scarves called keffiyeh, pushing a man in a wheelchair down a hall as perplexed nurses look on.
One officer was disguised as a Palestinian woman in a black niqab, a garment that completely covers the face and body. About 72 Palestinians have also been killed, including 43 reported assailants, and others killed in violent clashes with Israel’s Defence Forces.
The Israeli force of more than 20 men was looking for al-Shalaldeh who was suspected of stabbing an Israeli settler two weeks ago in the West Bank.
