Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian Man, Injure Wife

HeadlineJun 07, 2007

In the Occupied Territories, a Palestinian man has been shot dead and his wife seriously injured in an Israeli raid on their home in the town of Hebron. According to his children, 67-year-old Isaq al-Jabari confronted the troops after they burst into his home in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Israeli troops shot him in the jaw and then fired on his 60-year-old wife. Both were unarmed. Several Palestinian civilians have been killed or injured in Israeli raids on the Occupied Territories this week. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights says two 14-year-old children were killed in northern Gaza after they flew their kites near an Israeli military post.
