By Name: 9 Teenagers Whose Bodies Are Still Held by the Occupation
 

December 29, 2024 – Quds News

The Israeli occupation authorities continue to withhold the bodies of nine teenage martyrs from Jerusalem, Hebron, and Nablus, after killing them in the past three months.

In addition to these nine children, the occupation authorities are holding the remains of 37 martyrs from the West Bank, including Jerusalem. Over the same period, occupation forces killed 27 boys and girls; some of their bodies were returned to their families, while others were buried shortly after their martyrdom.

Eyewitness accounts confirm that the returned bodies of the martyrs showed signs of being held in inhumane conditions and subjected to high temperatures, which was evident upon their release.

The nine teenagers whose bodies are still withheld are:

  1. Is'haq Badran (16 years old) – From Kafr 'Aqab, north of Jerusalem. He was killed by occupation forces on October 15 after allegedly stabbing settlers who had attempted to assault him while in Jerusalem.

  2. Mustafa Al-Khatib (17 years old) – From Jerusalem. He was killed by occupation forces on October 12 near Bab Al-Asbat Cemetery in Jerusalem.

  3. Hassan Manasra (17 years old) – From Beit Hanina, Jerusalem. He was killed on October 15 in the settlement of Pisgat Ze'ev, built on Jerusalem's lands, allegedly while attempting, along with his detained cousin Ahmad, to stab a settler.

  4. Mu'taz Owaisat (16 years old) – From Jabal Al-Mukaber, Jerusalem. He was killed by occupation forces on October 17 in the settlement of Armon Hanatziv, established on the lands of Sur Baher and Jabal Al-Mukaber, under the pretext of attempting a stabbing.

  5. Fadl Al-Qawasmi (18 years old) – From Hebron. He was killed by a settler on October 17 on Al-Shuhada Street in Hebron, allegedly attempting to stab the settler. Occupation forces prevented medical aid from reaching him until he succumbed to his injuries.

  6. Ezz Al-Din Abu Shakhdam (17 years old) – From Hebron. He was killed alongside martyr Shadi Al-Qudsi on October 27 near the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, south of Bethlehem, accused of attempting a stabbing.
