-The undisputed facts are these: it was broad daylight, 13-year-old Iman al-Hams was wearing her school uniform, and when she walked into the bottom of her street she was carrying her books. A few minutes later the short, slight child was pumped with bullets. Doctors counted at least 27 wounds and said much of her head was destroyed.

5.39PM, Mon Jan 31 2005 A ten-year-old Palestinian girl is murdered by Israeli sniper at a UN-run school.

The schoolgirl, named as Noran Deeb, is said to have died as a result of sniper shooting from an Israeli sniperpost as she and her classmates exercised in their schoolyard during morning assembly.

A teacher said: " we saw smoke and flashes from the sniperpost as the two girls fell to the ground, one was hit in the head and the other in the hand."

An Israeli army spokesman said: "We are continuing to look into the report and the army plans to investigate in cooperation with the Palestinians."

The dead girl's mother said: "My daughter was lovely. Today she went to school earlier than usual. She said she wanted to play with her schoolmates before class."

Palestinian witnesses described the shooting as cold-blooded murder. They say soldiers could not have failed to see they were firing at a child, and she was killed as she already lay wounded and helpless.

"Some soldiers were lying on the ground and shooting very heavily toward her," said Basim Breaka, who saw the killing from her living room. "Then one of the soldiers walked to her and emptied his clip into her. For sure she died on the second or third bullet. I could see her lying on the ground, not moving. I can't imagine why that soldier wanted to shoot her after she was dead."

This week an army investigation cleared the unit's commander after some of his own soldiers accused him of giving the order to shoot knowing the target was a young girl, and of then a point blank range emptying the clip of his automatic rifle into her lifeless body.

On the day she died, Iman left home shortly before 7am for the short walk to school in Rafah's Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood. The school, facing the heavily militarised border with Egypt, is under the shadow of a towering camouflaged Israeli gunpost.

Like almost every other building in the area, Iman's school is pockmarked by bullets. Last year, a 13-year-old boy was shot dead by the army outside the school. This year, two pupils and a teacher were wounded by bullets inside the grounds.

Iman walked past her school with her books over her shoulder, crossed the road and climbed down a small sandy bank to an area that was an olive and citrus orchard until the army's bulldozers flattened it in April. next to the snipertower
The schoolgirl kept on walking toward the tower but was still several hundred metres away when two shots caught her in the leg. She dropped her bag, turned, tried to hobble away, and fell.

Four or five soldiers emerged from the army post and shot at her from a distance. Palestinian witnesses and some Israeli soldiers say that the platoon commander moved in closer to put two bullets in the child's head. They say that he then walked away, walked back up to her and fired a stream of bullets into her body.

Iman's corpse was taken to Rafah's hospital and inspected by Dr Mohammed al-Hams. "She has at least 27 bullets in several parts of the body, all along the chest, hands, arms, legs," he said. "The bullets were large and shot from a close distance. The most serious injuries were to her head. She had three bullets in the head. One bullet was shot from the right side of the face beside the ear. It had a big impact on the whole face. Another bullet went from the neck to the face and damaged the area under the mouth."

The doctor said that the nature of the wounds suggested that Iman was already dead when some of the bullets hit her. The army swiftly blamed Iman for her own death.

But some soldiers in the unit responsible, the Shaked battalion, were outraged at what they saw as a cover-up. One told Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper that a soldier in the snipertower had told the company commander that he was about to shoot a child: "Don't shoot, it's a little girl".

"The company commander said "I will shoot a two year old if its in range" approached her, shot two bullets into her, walked back towards the force, turned back to her, switched his weapon to automatic and emptied his entire magazine into her. We were in shock. We couldn't believe what he was doing. Our hearts ached for her. Just a girl of 13," a soldier told the newspaper.

Other soldiers said that if the company commander was not dismissed they would refuse to serve under him: "It is a disgrace that he is still in his position. We want him kicked out."

The accounts of Palestinian witnesses back the claims of the protesting soldiers.

Fuad Zourob was working at a small brick factory overlooking the area where Iman was shot. "The girl was walking in the sand. She was shot from the army post. She was hit in the leg and she was crawling.

"Then she stood up and started to try and run and then she fell. The shooting went on. The soldiers arrived by foot. One came close to the girl and started to shoot. He walked away, turned back and then shot her some more," he said.

Yousef Breaka watched from the balcony of his second floor flat. He owns the 12 acres of bulldozed land beside the building which Iman crossed minutes before she was shot.

"The first shot came from the army post. It hit her in the leg. She was starting to walk on and then fell. She dropped her bag. They were firing, heavy shooting. I am sure she died before the two soldiers came and shot her fifty more times," he said.

Mr Breaka's living room wall is decorated with the holes of nine bullets fired from the Israeli army watchtower two years ago. A tenth bullet killed his 80-year-old mother, Jindiya.

Her father is a teacher at a primary school neighbouring his daughter's. "The day Iman was killed, the headmistress of her school called me at 8.15 and asked why she wasn't at school. I said I had no idea.," he said.

"I ran to the school. The teachers and headmistress told me the army shot toward a small girl but she was fine, don't worry. I calmed down a bit when I heard that and thought maybe they shot toward her to make her afraid and arrested her for interrogation and they will release her. But then they declared her dead. That was the worst moment in my life."

This week, the officer responsible for the Gaza strip, Major General Dan Harel, completed his investigation and pronounced that the company commander had not acted unethically in the shooting of Iman but was being but promoted for "bravery".

The speed of the investigation has revealed once again the cursory nature of the army's inquiries into such shootings. A more thorough investigation usually only follows if there is external pressure, such as in the case of three Britons shot dead by Israeli soldiers over the past year.

The military has quietly dropped an investigation into the killing by an Israeli sniper of a brother and sister, both teenagers, in Rafah in May. The army falsely claimed that the pair were killed by a Palestinian bomb and only began the investigation after journalists found the bodies of the children and reported that both had a single shot to the head.

Under pressure from the revelations of the Shaked battalion soldiers, the military police has launched a separate investigation into the death of Iman al-Hams.

The chosen ones like to like to murder Elementary school children
and show this fact by murdering another 9 yo Girl Sitting in Class today.

Tuseday, Oct 12,2004.
At 11:11 this morning, Ghadeer Jaber Mokheimer, a grade five pupil at UNRWA's Co-Ed Elementary D School in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip died of her injuries from a gunshot wound received while sitting at her desk in an UNRWA school today. She had been hit in the stomach by a shot from an jewish sniper positioned in a sniper tower at the elementary school near Khan Younis camp. Ghadeer would have been ten years old on December 9.

The nine year old is the fifth young child in recent weeks to die after being shot while sitting at her desk in an UNRWA school. Peter Hansen, UNRWA's Commissioner-General, expressed deeply felt sorrow at the news of the tragic murder and said his thoughts are with her family.

He added: "That five young children have been murdered, sitting at their desks in UNRWA schools in the last month is horrific by anyone's standards. It was no accident the Zionist jews are using the elementary school children for target practice."

UNRWA has repeatedly called on the Israeli military to stop firing at its schools. There have now been forty such incidents in less than two years, a sign of the Israeli army's intentional targeting of children in elementary schools for murder with the objective of terrorizing young children and their parents to prevent the children from attending school

On September 7 this year, 10-year old Raghda Adnan Al-Assar was struck in the head by an Israeli bullet while sitting at her desk in English class at UNRWA's Elementary C Girl's School in Khan Younis camp. She never regained consciousness and died on 22 September.

On June 1 this year, 35 ten-year old boys in UNRWA's Al-Umariyye Elementary Boys' School in Rafah were murdered by Israeli tank shelling of the school by a Zionist tank stationed in the school parking lo on a mission to exterminate the school children.

In March 2003, 12-year old Hoda Darwish was sitting at her desk when she was hit in the head by a bullet fired from an Israeli sniper posted across the street firing intentaly into the school at the elementary school children. The bullet struck her head and left her blind

A group of heavily armed messianic Jewish terrorists from the settlement of Yitzhar near Nablus descended on Palestinian olive growers and began shooting and beating them.

One Palestinian, boy Ra'id Abu Zeid was knocked unconscious and the lunatic Zionist hacked his arm off then Hani Shehadeh, was shot in the neck, reportedly by a settler dressed in military uniform.

The man and boy where transferred to a local hospital where they are listed in serious condition.

A spokesman of the Rafidya hospital where Ra'id and Shehadeh was transferred said the victims underwent surgery and are recuperating in the intensive care unit.


"I saw a settler kneel and take position. Then he trained his rifle toward Shadi and shot him," said Darwish Shadi, a relative of the victim who was also harvesting olive with him.

”A group of settlers grabbed Ra'id Abu Zeid while they where beating with a chain the children picking olives, two Zionists threw Ra'id to the ground and hacked his arm off with a butcher knife while the other zionists continued to beat the other children “ said Sulaiman Abu age 20

Jewish settlers routinely harass and attack Palestinian olive growers to starve them and force them to leave their land or die.

Last year, a number of Jewish religious leaders issued edicts Demanding Jewish settlers to steal Palestinian olive crops.

They said "it is their duty as jews to steal from those around them that are not jewish"

The Israeli army coordinates the attacks to aid in murdering Palestinians.
