A PALESTINIAN woman was shot dead in occupied East Jerusalem after an Israeli extremist colonist harassed her and when she tried to defend herself, shot her at point-blank range.
The Israeli occupying regime alleged that the woman stabbed the colonist with a knife, but according to eye-witnesses, there was no blood at the scene before the woman was shot.
In another atrocity, another Palestinian woman was also fired at by Israeli forces who aimed at her abdomen and chest. The military claimed that the woman had a metal detector and did not stop when she was asked to.
The violence in occupied Jerusalem has reached an alarming level in which guns are even fired at worshipers inside a mosque.
The drastic new measures taken by Israel include razing Palestinian homes and erasing Muslim identity. The atrocious violation of Al Aqsa Mosque`s sanctity by Zionist extremists is not just to provoke the Islamic nation, but to implement the malicious designs for the Judaisation of all Jerusalem and setting up the Temple Mount.
Killing women, children and worshipers is a cowardly action and is tantamount togross violations of human rights. The world should put a stop to this abuse and genocide of the Palestinian people.
