#Palestine / Israeli police kills 65-year-old Palestinian woman in occupied East Jerusalem
A 65-year-old Palestinian woman, Zahiya al-Obeidi, was shot dead in the head by Israeli police during operations in Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. She was brought to Shuafat checkpoint with penetrating injuries and no signs of life. Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances.
A police sniper shot last week two Palestinians in the al-Tur neighborhood - 12-year-old Iyas Ra'ad Abu Mafreh and his 21-year-old cousin Oudai Fadi Abu Juma. Police claimed they were involved in throwing fireworks and Molotov cocktails, but family members and eyewitnesses told #Haaretz they were standing on the street eating pizza with no disturbances in the area. Video footage obtained by Haaretz supports the family's account.
On the same day, soldiers shot dead 22-year-old Moataz Hajajleh in Walaja village near Jerusalem, claiming he pulled a knife and tried to stab them and steal their weapons. His family and village residents claim soldiers shot him without danger to themselves, after beating him and his relatives.

the #Quds force was not a household name until a few years ago - they emerged into the spotlight under the command of Qasem #Soleimani - he was a construction worker at the time in Kerman, with little formal schooling, but thanks to the revolution he became an #IRGC paramilitary. He was involved both in the suppression of the #Kurdish revolts in ethnic Kurdish regions of #Iran in 1979, but also gained status as a kind of a war hero in the Iran-Iraq war
