The
Real Story of Killing the two women in Beit Sahour on 9/11/2000.
On Wednesday evening 8/11/2000 the Israeli Soldiers armed with heavy weapons and tanks attacked many civil
sites in the east of Beit Sahour -as it used to happen since the beginning of
the second Intifada. One of the houses, which were
attacked, was the one related to the citizen Ramzi Mohammed Ali Shueibat. In
the morning of the next day, the people of the city including the relatives
attended to the site to see the result of the attack, they used to stay for
short time and then leave.
Two women among the people
were Aziza Dannoun who was the sister of the owner of the attacked house and
Rahma Shahin also was her relative. After they finished their
visit, they decided to leave finding out that there were no deaths or injuries
but some damage to the building. They moved towards the main street through a
narrow unpaved road to wait for a taxi to take them back home. Suddenly a mad devilish
explosion happened. The area was
covered with sound. "The bodies of both women were sent into the air for
ten meters before they rushed down and settled on the ground" one witness
remarked. Salah Shuibat who was
injured remarked that Aziza was on fire, but a damaged water pipe could put the
fire out because of the water flowing on her body" and he added, the bodies
of the women were deprived from their clothes" then Salah went into
unconsciousness. Then the
people of the city rushed to the site to see the result of the attack made by
the missiles shot by a helicopter (Apache) on the area. And the ambulance
arrived to the spot trying to save the injured. But the
whole crowd was frightened by the Israeli bullets shot but this time from the
Israeli army camp in the city. The
target was the people and the ambulance. The result was that the people withdrew and some bullets hit
the ambulance. Some short time later, the
injured people were taken to hospitals and the people went again to see what had
happened. The first eyewitness who could see the bodies of both women (Kareem Shueibat) the son of the owner of the house, said that Aziza ( his Aunt) was a mass of an unknown human body. She was covered with bullets and blood. Part of her head and hair was fixed on the wall. He added that Rahma Shahin was suffering a lot. The internal parts of her body were out, and she was murmuring, “help me, please”. She was crying silently "Kareem remarked that one civil car was shelled by one rocket. It belonged to Hussain Obayyat one of Fateh leaders who came to visit the attacked house. He was killed inside his car immediately. Some short time later the
families of both women arrived but it was too late. The women were taken to Beit Jala hospital.
The families intend to send
this message to the whole international community to reveal the Israeli lies and
to negate the Israeli claims that they, the Israelis, attacked the target (Hussain
Obayyat) directly. The Israelis are
trying to neglect responsibility of killing the two Palestinian women Rahma and
Aziza. Why did they kill these two
women??! ! Were they carrying guns??! ! What danger to the security of Israel
were two innocent women! ! ! Why did the Israelis repeat
the story of Mohammad AI-Durra but this time with Aziza and Rahma? Who
can answer Aziza's grandchildren’s questions, “Where is my grandmother? When
will she come back? Shall she bring me some sweets as she comes back?” Motez
her nine year grandchild is still asking. Khalid, Rahma’s son,
speaking about his mother says “She is my mother. Oh sorry, she was my mother, but she is still my mother.
Rahma, that name which means Mercy. Yes,
she was my mother, she was the mercy, she was and was and was. ...”
“I used
to sleep beside her in one bed for very short four years. When
I wake up, I find her beside me smiling saying "Good morning"
Sometimes I wake up at night finding her hand passing over me to check if I was
well covered or not.” “Not
only Rahma was my mother, she was also my friend. We used to hit each other, play with each other, scold each
other, dream the same dreams, wish the some wishes, and be always with each
other.” On that day the 9th
of November, the day she died, she asked me to go with her to see the houses
which were damaged because of the Israeli bombs and bullets. She
went alone there, I was at home. At
11:30 I heard a horrible noise and I knew that it was beside the houses which my
mother went to see. I went to the
street to watch the helicopters with my neighbors and I told them "do you
know who died" They answered "who?" I said" my mother"
they asked "really?!!!" I answered "Oh"! ! I am just kidding
without knowing that she was dead. However, she actually died. I don't have any word to say
to the people who killed her but "Don't think that I will forget", I
won't I won't forget". The sons and daughters of
