Moataz Ibrahim Zawahra, 28 years old, was shot and killed by the Israeli security forces on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 during clashes at the northern entrance of Bethlehem. He was from the Dheisheh refugee camp.
Zawahra wore a red kuffiyeh tied tightly around his head during the protest — the color a symbol of his political party, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the checkered scarf, a symbol of Palestinian nationalism. According to his childhood friend, Fadi al-Qaisi, “[Zawahra] loved Palestine more than anything… Most of his family has been imprisoned by Israel.”
When Tuesday’s march reached the separation wall, Israeli forces immediately fired tear gas at the gatherers, dispersing part of the crowd. The peaceful protest quickly turned into clashes between Palestinian youth armed with rocks and heavily armed Israeli forces. Zawahra was one of the young men at the front-line of the fight.
