A Sniper in the Israeli Military kills Yousef Akil Srour, Naalin, West Bank
Yousef Akil Srour, Fifth Ni’lin Residents to be Murdered by the Israeli Army in Ni’lin
On June 5th, a sniper in the Israeli military killed 36 year old Yousef Akil Srour, shooting him in the chest with 0.22 caliber live ammunition. Srour is the 5th Palestinian to be killed by the Israeli army in Ni’lin during a demonstration against the theft of his land for the construction of the Annexation Wall. During demonstrations against the confiscation of their land, Israeli occupation forces have murdered five Ni’lin residents and critically injured one international solidarity activist - Tristan Anderson.

On the same day, the occupation forces wounded another four protesters, one of them critically. Large parts of Naalin were bombed with gas, including medical personal who were prevented from reaching wounded.

Since May 2008, residents of Ni’lin have been organizing and participating in unarmed demonstrations against construction of the Apartheid Wall. Despite being deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2004, Israel continues to build the Wall, further annexing Palestinian land. Ni’lin will lose approximately 2,500 dunums of agricultural land when construction of the wall is completed. Ni’lin consisted of 57,000 dunums in 1948, was reduced to 33,000 dunums in 1967, is currently 10,000 dunums and will be 7,500 dunums after completion of the Wall.
