Early this morning, Tuesday, 23 September 2014, the Israeli military discovered the hiding place of and killed Amer Abu Aisha and Marwan Qawasmeh, the two suspects in the kidnapping and killing of the three Israeli settler youth in June.
The killing took place on the first floor of a wood factory in the Hai El Sharma neighborhood near Hebron University after a firefight. The building has three floors: the first is a wood factory; the second contains shops and the third is residential. Due to the live ammunition, small bombs, and tear gas thrown into the building by the soldiers, a fire started, which burned one of the two suspects almost beyond recognition. The blasts from the bombs, and the military tractor used to cave in the building also damaged adjoining homes and buildings.
The military took the bodies to the Israeli DCO at 9:00 a.m. Families identified them and retrieved them for burial. According to Muslim religious law, the bodies must be buried before sundown the same day as the death.
During the course of the morning people began to gather; clashes between the Israeli soldiers and Palestinians ensued and soldiers shot at least three people, one in the chest and one in the head, but no one died.
Following a 12:30 prayer service, Abu Aisha and Qawasmeh were buried in Hebron’s Shuhada cemetery with thousands of family, friends, and neighbors attending.
