Palestinian girl succumbs to wounds sustained in Israeli raid on Jenin

15-year-old Sadeel Ghassan Naghniyeh Turkman was shot in the head by Israeli forces on Monday, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

In addition to Turkman, the ministry has confirmed the deaths of Ahmed Youssef Saqr, 15, Khaled Azzam Darwish, 21, Qassam Faisal Abu Sariya, 29, Qais Majdi Jabareen, 21, Ahmed Daraghmeh, 19 and Amjad al-Jas, 48.

An Israeli investigation into the death of an elderly Palestinian-American, Omar Assad, 80, concluded last week and absolved soldiers of any wrongdoing.

Assad was stopped at a checkpoint in the West Bank in January last year, dragged from his car, his hands bound, and then blindfolded and left on the ground overnight. He suffered a heart attack, which his family and the Palestinian Ministry of Health attributed to his abusive treatment.

The investigation concluded that Israeli soldiers thought Assad was asleep when he was slumped on the floor and didn’t check to see if he was alive until the next morning.

The data shows that Israel has a "complete disregard for Palestinians' lives and encourages the continued use of the deadly trigger-happy policy that has claimed so many Palestinian lives," the report said.

Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 163 Palestinians this year, including 27 children.

A total of 129 fatalities have been recorded in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and a further 34 in the Gaza Strip.
