Elderly Woman Dies Following Serious Injury & Militant Killed Was Also a Footballer - Update for Bethlehem Under Attack

"Palestinian medical sources in Bethlehem reported that an elderly woman [Fatima Abdel Fattah Zahran] died of wounds sustained during an Israeli military offensive in the West Bank city of Bethlehem."

This is a photo of the late Thaer Hassan. He was killed by the Israeli Occupation Forces on the 3 November, 2006, when they demolished his father's house with him inside. The IOF accused him of contributing to a shooting and an attempted bombing in the Gush Etzion block of illegal Israeli settlement - built on illegally annexed Palestinian properties. More
One would think that Thaer Hassan would be "arrested" and put on trial, but not killed by destroying a three-stories high building on top of his head, after invading the peaceful Little Town of Bethlehem and kill 2 more people - a teenager and an elderly woman - and cause injury and trauma to some more Palestinians.
Moreover, Hassan was also an active member of a local football team in Bethlehem, called Islamy Bethlehem. His father is a member of the Central Committee of Referees in Bethlehem. A congregation of more than 200 athletes and referees from Bethlehem pay a visit to Hassan's father to pay their condolences for the loss of their colleague and peer *.
