News about the three Palestinians who were yesterday killed by Israeli forces in several areas in Palestine and inside Israel hit the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today. Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Ayyam and al-Quds said that 16-year-old Haytham Rayan was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers Tuesday morning in Balata refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Nablus and three others were wounded. Rayan was hit by several bullets in the head, chest, belly and hand and killed immediately. They also reported that Alaa Shaham, said to be in his 20s, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers yesterday morning in Qalandia refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, and six others were wounded. Shaham was hit by a live bullet in the head and killed immediately. An undercover Israeli police force shot and killed Tuesday morning Sanad Salem al-Harbad, 27, a father of three children and a resident of the Arab city of Rahat, in the Naqab desert in the south of Israel. Al-Harbad was shot dead by the police unit during an arrest activity in the city, as reported in the papers. Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Quds said that the Palestinian presidency condemned the Israeli occupation’s killing of the three Palestinians, which it described as extrajudicial executions, and warned that this escalation could lead to an explosion in the situation. Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh told the official Voice of Palestine radio that the Israeli government is held fully responsible for this escalation. It also said President Abbas yesterday swore in three new ambassadors to Sweden, Uzbekistan, and Djibouti. Al-Quds said that Israeli settlers uprooted 200 olive saplings in the town of Bidya, west of the northern West Bank city of Salfit, and stole them. Al-Ayyam said that Israeli bulldozers demolished three houses in the city of Umm al-Fahm. The paper added that the Israeli Supreme Court is studying a decision in which it may displace residents in eight villages in the area of Masafer Yatta. The war in Ukraine and developments there and elsewhere as a result of the war continued to be covered extensively on the front page of the Palestinian dailies.
