[TULKAREM] Israeli soldiers executed three men in
Tulkarem center today in a disgusting and brutal
fashion.
Rebecca Murray (UK) reports that no medical teams have
been allowed to function but that after the military
stopped strafing the city with apache helicopters
residents where finally able to retrieve the bodies of
Ziad D’ias (28), Hamad Saidz (18), Maher Jeshmawi
(17).
Murray went to the hospital and can confirm that the
men were tied up and drug along the street to the
point where they had no skin in some places. The men
were shot in the head at point blank range resulting
in large amounts of their heads being blown off. It is
unclear if they were killed prior to the torture.
This is another example of Israel’s illegal execution
policy. It is unlawful to execute an accused person
without giving him a fair trial first. Two bodies of
law apply—humanitarian law, which applies in an armed
conflict, and human rights law, which applies even
where the laws of war do not.
