Eyad Hriebat (39 yo) from the city of sakaka, Hebron West bank, he was unjustly sentenced by the israeli courts to 250 years behind bars for his resistance and fight against the Israeli occupation, He was arrested when he was 19.
For 6 months Eyad got tortured, brutally assaulted and beatened in Hadarim prison by IOF, and left with complete medical negligence, he is currently in a very serious health condition he is amnesic, paralysed, septic, and in danger of developing a shock and death.
Update: rumours between the prisoners and other witnesses saying that the IOF injected Eyad’s head with an unknown substance which explains the rapid development of the amnesia and paralysis and the very recent mental deterioration.
Don’t leave him alone facing his death under the torture in the Israeli prisons.
Support him and his family by sharing his story and exposing the war crimes of the israeli occupation.
Israeli occupation forces shot Palestinian child Mohammad Hamayel during protests against land theft in Beita. The bullet hit his spleen & other shrapnel in his waist. He was transferred to the ICU, later released.
Harbi Al-Rajhi, got shot at his back yesterday by zionist occupation forces while he was going to pray at the mosque, in Silwan.
Due to his injury, he underwent nephrectomy and partial splenectomy.
people of Silwan are subjected to all types of violence by IOF, as the occupation government intentionally ordering its forces to make people’s lives miserable and unbearable in Silwan, so people leave the town in favor of zionist settlers.
Bassel al-Araj the educated martyr, was a Palestinian activist, writer, author and pharmacist. Known for his writings about revolution and Arab nationalism.

He organized educational activities and lectures in which he narrated experiences of Palestinian resistance in tours of Palestinian landmarks, he admired talking about the stories of martyrs, who were killed while defending the land of their ancestors Palestine.

My life is fading in front of my eyes, I lost my health & my body betrayed me, zionist occupier applies the slow death policy to me in Kaplan Hospital
Here I am declaring a water strike after 61 days of my hunger strike
**Update: According to his sister Warda, the (Israeli) Kaplan Hospital where Ghadanfar Abu Atwan is being held has threatened to force feed him, which under international law amounts to torture.
Yesterday (Fri, July 2, 2021) this Palestinian kid (13 yo) miraculously escaped being killed after he got shot by soldiers of the Israeli occupation forces, at first they unlawfully detained him at Bab Al-zawiya area, where he successfully managed to escape from this illegal detention, bcoz of that these monsters shot him.
Al-Ghadanfar Abu Atwan from Palestine, is now on day 60 of his hunger strike, protesting his own unlawful administrative detention by IDF. Administrative detention where a prisoner is held indefinitely without charge or any trial. The Israeli occupation forces use this type of detention only with the Palestinians.
Al-Ghadanfar now is looking painfully thin. His sister says he can’t feel his legs and had to have help in bringing them down over the side of the bed.
On this day in 2014, Mohammad Abu Khdair was kidnapped by Zionist Jews, beaten, forced to drink gasoline, and burned alive. He was only 16. We haven’t forgotten.
They used to have a house 1hr ago now they are gathering its remaining, this Palestinian family (with 2 children), has got its house demolished by the apartheid Israeli occupation, a whole family has become homeless.
Save Silwan, Stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
