Dubai: Israel has shot and killed Ramzi Najjar days after his cousin Razan Najjar, a paramedic, was murdered by snipers last Friday on the border fence of Gaza, while she was trying to help a demonstrator who was injured.
Israeli Occupation soldiers fired two or three bullets across the fence, hitting Razan in the upper body.
She was pronounced dead soon after.

Three days after, on Monday morning her cousin Ramzi Najjar was killed the same way, bullets fired by Israeli Occupation soldiers.
Ramzi was there trying to express his anger over his cousin’s killing, according to his father who spoke to the media.
On Tuesday morning, Red Cross confirmed Ramzi’s death to his family, not giving any details on when will the body be given back to them.
Expression fo anger
Ahmad Tibi, a member of Israeli parliament, expressed his anger on Monday in a speech in the weekly Knesset session, in which he described the shooting “a despicable war crime committed by a cowardly and criminal sniper who saw a paramedic with a white coat and pulled the trigger.”
“A pure, angelic girl in white, makes me wonder what was the sniper thinking at that moment, what bothered him about what Razan was doing?”
Then he asked: “Why didn’t the US express any concern for Razan’s life, instead protecting the terrorism of the snipers here?”
Tibi saluted Razan in Arabic saying “To Razan Najjar, the martyr of Humanity, I say from here on my behalf and on behalf of all your family in Haifa, Taibeh, Nazareth: a flower goes to your precious soul.
In the video, Tibi directed his speech towards the Israeli Knesset member Anat Berko, telling her: “Razan represents life and you sanctify death, her values were higher than the values of Anat Berko (MK) and Nikki Haley (US ambassador to UN).”
Adding in anger “the shoe of Razan Najjar is equivalent in worth to the head of the US ambassador Nikki Haley”. While Razan was rushing to her death on Friday, Haley vetoed the Palestinian protection resolution put forward by Kuwait on behalf of Arab countries at the United Nations.
The US ambassador to the UN has described the draft resolution as a "grossly one-sided approach" to the conflict.
Haley blamed Palestinian resistance, and demanded them to “cease all violent activity and provocative actions, including along the boundary fence.”
