while clashes were taking place in the camp.95 At the moment of the shooting, Saleh was not taking part in confrontations, but was shot by a sniper in the forehead from a distance of around 75 meters.96 He died five days later from his wounds. Even if he had been involved in the clashes or trying to throw stones at the soldiers, from an approximate distance of 75 meters he posed no threat to the lives of the Israeli soldiers who were behind the 8-meter high Annexation Wall.97 In April 2014, Nuha Katamish, a 44-year old resident of Aida, died from tear gas suffocation in her own home in the camp, after the Israeli army shot tear gas throughout the entirety of the camp. Katamish suffered from asthma98 and had a heart condition, which worsened the choking effects of the gas.99 She had not been involved in the clashes taking place in the camp that day, and her home was located on the opposite side of the camp, far away from the clashes that take place near the military base. However, a tear gas canister was shot towards her home and entered inside through an open window. Katamish fainted shortly afterwards and was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead by the doctors who confirmed that the death resulted from the tear gas.100 In October 2015, a 13-year old boy, Abed al-Rahman Obeidallah, was also killed in Aida camp while standing near the entrance of the camp, in front of an UNRWA building. Several eyewitnesses affirmed that Obeidallah was simply standing in the street and not involved in stone-throwing. But even if he had been, stones thrown by a 13-year old boy to a well-secured military base located more than 100 meters away would pose no threat to injury, much less a threat to life to the soldiers that would justify the use of live ammunition. The Israeli occupying forces later claimed his killing was an accident stating that “the soldier had intended to shoot a protester who was leading the riot and was standing next to [Obeidallah]”,101 despite the fact that the 13-year old was standing next to other boys his age away from the clashes at the time of his killing. 95 Jessica Purkiss, Teenager shot in his head in Aida refugee camp, Palestine Monitor, 20 January 2013.
