As soon as the death of Udaï Tamimi was announced, large gatherings took place in the Shuafat camp, where he lived, in order to pay homage to him, reports our correspondent in Jerusalem
,
Sami Boukhelifa
.
He was presented as a "
terrorist
" by the Israelis.
He was a "
resister
", retort the Palestinians.
Udaï Tamimi killed a young Israeli soldier on October 8 at a checkpoint between the camp and the Israeli side.
“
She was a member of an occupying army
,” recalls a Palestinian from the Shuafat camp.
The second operation of Udaï Tamimi, this Wednesday evening, targeted the armed guards of a colony, in occupied Palestinian territory.
They are the ones who killed him.
For almost two weeks, the Israeli forces embarked on a veritable manhunt to find the young shooter.
The Shuafat refugee camp, where he was from, and several other nearby towns have been completely cordoned off.
The Palestinians then denounced a collective punishment.
And even decreed “
civil disobedience
”.
Through a general strike movement, they protested against the siege put in place by the Israeli security forces, and the repeated incursions of the police in their neighborhood.
Almost every day there were clashes between young Palestinians and the police.
