On Sept. 10, Mohammed Abu Dayeh, a volunteer medic in the West Bank city of Tulkarm, was shot while trying to save the life of 21-year-old Hiba Halawa. While the war in Gaza is now halted by a cease-fire deal, the Israeli military is dramatically escalating it’s campaign in the West Bank, which it says is targeting militant activity. It has also resulted in widespread displacement and dozens of deaths. Palestinians say these raids are some of the most destructive in recent memory, and civilians and medics like Halawa and Abu Dayeh are often caught in the middle of the violence. This incident occurred in the Tulkarm refugee camp, a densely populated neighborhood within the city. Many Palestinian families who live here fled or were forced from their homes after the creation of the state of Israel. The area is now dominated by various factions of Palestinian militants, who say they are fighting the Israeli occupation. The Israeli military says the goal of their raids here is to fight terrorism. On the afternoon of Sept. 10, Hiba Halawa was at home in Tulkarm with her family. At the time, Abu Dayeh was across the street examining a minor injury at a neighbor’s house. Abu Dayeh helped wrap Halawa in a blanket and took her through this passageway, attempting to transport her to an ambulance outside of the neighborhood. But they didn’t get far. Other medical volunteers believed Abu Dayeh had a better chance of survival, so they moved fast to get him out of the neighborhood, leaving Halawa and her mother alone, a moment captured on video. Eyewitnesses who spoke to The New York Times said Halawa and Abu Dayeh were both shot by Israeli military personnel positioned nearby around 2 p.m. The Israeli military denied having anything to do with the shootings and said they occurred during an incident unrelated to a two-day raid that began in the camp around the same time. Regardless of who shot them, their story highlights the dangers faced by many who live here. Halawa was transported to the hospital, where she died within hours, while Abu Dayeh faces a long recovery and is now learning to walk again. Abu Dayeh’s injury is part of a wave of attacks on medical personnel in the West Bank, documented by the World Health Organization and others. We spoke to two paramedics about the role of volunteers like Abu Dayeh. The Israeli military denied targeting medics or blocking access to medical care, but said that soldiers sometimes stop and search ambulances during their raids to target suspected militant activity. Halawa’s family now visits her grave in the Tulkarm camp’s cemetery.
