Israeli forces kill woman as she attempts to save man bleeding at her doorstep

A woman in Jenin gave her life to save a young man. Israeli forces shot Mahmoud Abdel Razek Bakar Nasser in front of Fatima Mahmoud Ahmed Shriem's northern West Bank home. The women of Qabatiya Village, just to the south of Jenin, sang for Fatima as they walked in her funeral procession. She was a mother, a friend, and a wife.

Fatima died trying to pull the young man, Mahmoud, to safety. Medical sources in Dr. Khalid Suleiman Memorial Hospital in Jenin said that she died from blood loss, not from the gunshots. Israeli forces kept the area under siege for hours. No one could leave their homes and ambulances could not reach the victims.

Her husband, Mahmoud Hafez, stood still after the mourners carrying his wife's body had taken their rest. He tried to control his tears, but they fell heavily. “Where is the 'calm,' the 'cease-fire,' when they continue to kill in cold blood, leaving bodies to slowly bleed to death.” >>>cont
