Israeli occupation forces killed Thursday
an unarmed Palestinian civilian at the Netzarim Junction in Gaza,
Palestinian sources said, adding that the man, identified as
Abdel Muati Dakar, 30, suffered from developmental
disabilities.
Israeli military claims that its soldiers killed the Palestinian man
when they saw him approaching an outpost near the junction, trying to
enter an area that is barred to Palestinians.
Justifying the civilian’s killing, the Israeli military said that the
soldiers found his behavior suspicious, as he did not react to the warning
shots they fired in the air, thus fired directly at him.

This is the second time in a week that Israeli occupation forces kill a
developmentally disabled Palestinian.
A mentally handicapped Palestinian man has died
after being shot by Israeli soldiers in the southern Gaza Strip, hospital
sources said.
Ibrahim al-Shawas, 36, died on Saturday after being shot in the head
near Khan Yunus on Friday, they said. Witnesses said he was approaching a
border fence near the town when a shot rang out from the Israeli side.
Aljazeera reported that al-Shawas was on his way to his farm when he
was shot and killed.
