Video: Palestinian elder fearlessly confronts Israeli soldiers

This video shows a Palestinian elder with a paper model of the kind of rocket the Palestinian resistance fires from Gaza as he fearlessly confronts Israeli occupation forces in the Bab al-Zawiya neighborhood of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron on Friday.

He does not back off even when a soldier fires towards him at close range.

Towards the end of the video, filmed by Yusri al-Jamal, the man whose name was not reported says:

Gaza is steadfastness, Gaza is heroes, Gaza is revolution, Gaza is rage, Gaza is victory, Gaza is the lifeline of the Palestinian people. Our blood is not more precious than the blood of the children or the resistance of Gaza. We will redeem you Gaza. We are all with you Gaza. Do not rely on the Arabs; tell them to sleep comfortably. But we Palestinians do not fear rifles or cannons.

One Palestinian, Nadir Idris, was wounded by Israeli soldiers at Bab al-Zawiya and died early on Saturday.

On Sunday, Israeli occupation forces killed twelve-year-old Khalil Muhammad Ahmad al-Anati.

He was shot dead by Israeli soldiers while playing in front of his home in al-Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron in the southern West Bank early Sunday, medics told Ma’an News Agency.

Palestinian medical sources said he was shot in the back.

God love that man for his courage and his righteous. He surely did make fools of those young IDF thugs. :)

I keep on reading everything - since years - just to be with the people of Palestine. In solidarity and with respect.

It is in the strength of the Palestinian people, the inner courage of its people to resist against the brutal Israeli occupation that will be Israel's downfall. Israel is committing massacres because they fear the Palestinian courage and they know it cannot be broken. They cower behind their guns and run like chickens from boys throwing stones because the IDF are gutless. It is the people who own the truth and the right to defend that have nothing to lose. Palestine will never die and we all need support the resistance now. One day all the blood spilled by these spineless murderers will not be in vain and they will not be forgiven for their sins against humanity.
