After Israel held her body for 28 consecutive days since the soldiers shot her, and prevented medics from approaching her, eventually leading to her bleeding to death, the corpse of slain Palestinian mother from Shu’fat refugee camp, in occupied Jerusalem, was finally released to her family, and was buried next to her son, who was killed by the soldiers in September of last year.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said it received the corpse of Seham Rateb Nimir, 49, from an Israeli military base, in Anata village, and transferred it to her family in Shu’fat refugee camp. She was buried late on Wednesday evening.
Fateh movement spokesperson in Shu’fat refugee camp Thaer Fasfous, said approximately 300 persons participated in the funeral ceremony, after her body was finally sent back home, and marched towards the local council for prayers before burial.
Fasfous added that Seham was buried next to her son, Mustafa Nimir, 27, who was killed in September of 2016, after the soldiers fired a barrage of bullets at his car, calming that her tried to ram them, and later admitted he never tried to attack them.
Seham was killed on March 30th 2017, in Bab al-‘Amoud area, in occupied East Jerusalem, after the soldiers claimed “she carried scissors, and attempted to stab them.” She bled to death after the soldiers prevented medics from approaching her.

Siham Rateb Nimir 49
Israeli police forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman Wednesday afternoon in occupied Jerusalem after allegedly trying to stab a policeman.
The Palestinian Health Ministry affirmed that an unidentified woman was shot to death by Israeli police near Bab al-Amoud Gate.
Local sources later identified the woman as 49-year-old Siham Rateb Nimir, the mother of the martyr Mustafa Nimir from Shufat refugee camp in Occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli police said in a statement that the woman attempted to stab a police officer at the Old City's Bab al-Amoud Gate before being "neutralized" by the Israeli forces.
Tight military restrictions were imposed in the area following the incident.
Moments later, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that the Israeli police prevented its medical crews from approaching the woman.
A second girl was evacuated from the scene by the Palestinian ambulance crews after being brutally attacked by Israeli forces, the sources added.
Palestinian woman shot dead in Jerusalem’s Old City
A Palestinian woman was shot and killed by Israeli Border Police at the Damascus Gate to Jerusalem’s Old City on Wednesday, the site of several such slayings since October 2015.
Siham al-Nimir, 49, is the only woman among the 15 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and armed civilians so far this year.
Al-Nimir was shot and killed after allegedly brandishing a pair of scissors at a group of officers.
The police released an image of al-Nimir recorded shortly before she was shot dead:

Palestinian woman shot dead in Jerusalem’s Old City
A Palestinian woman was shot and killed by Israeli Border Police at the Damascus Gate to Jerusalem’s Old City on Wednesday, the site of several such slayings since October 2015.
Siham al-Nimir, 49, is the only woman among the 15 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and armed civilians so far this year.
Al-Nimir was shot and killed after allegedly brandishing a pair of scissors at a group of officers.
The police released an image of al-Nimir recorded shortly before she was shot dead:
The image shows that a police barricade separated her from the paramilitary officers, suggesting that she did not pose an immediate threat to their lives. The image also shows there were multiple bystanders at the busy entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City. No Israeli officers were injured during the incident.
Video released by the Israeli police shows a Border Police officer stating that he saw al-Nimir “walking around, completely stressed out, she came toward me and started shouting.”
Witnesses told Palestinian media that Israeli forces prevented emergency medics from treating al-Nimir. Israeli media reported that she was declared dead by Israel’s emergency medical service within minutes of being shot.
Son killed by Israeli police months earlier
Numerous human rights groups, a United Nations human rights investigator, and the US State Department [PDF] and American lawmakers have all raised concerns about Israel’s reflexive use of deadly force against alleged Palestinian attackers over the past year and a half. Amnesty International stated last September that several such cases should be investigated as possible extrajudicial executions.
More than 250 Palestinians and three foreign nationals have been killed by Israeli forces and armed civilians since October 2015. Approximately 40 Israelis and two foreign nationals have been killed by Palestinians during that same period.
Al-Nimir’s daughter was reported to have been arrested at the site where her mother was shot:

Israeli forces raided a neighborhood near the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, where the al-Nimir family lives, on Wednesday night.
Camp residents confronted Israeli forces at the Shuafat camp checkpoint on Wednesday night.
The woman slain in Jerusalem on Wednesday is the mother of Mustafa al-Nimir, 27, who was shot dead by police in Shuafat camp last September.
Israel immediately claimed that the young man was attempting a car ramming attack on soldiers who had deployed in the camp, but soon admitted that no such attack was taking place when forces opened fire on the vehicle in which Mustafa al-Nimir and his brother-in-law were traveling.
Despite this retraction, Ali al-Nimir, 25, who was driving the car, was charged with “criminally negligent homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, driving without a license and driving without insurance,” the Tel Aviv newspaper Haaretz reported.
Ali al-Nimir recently signed a plea deal in exchange for a reduced sentence, according to Haaretz.
Jerusalem
Siham al-Nimir is the second Palestinian killed by Israeli police in Jerusalem’s Old City this month. Ibrahim Matar, 25, was shot dead at a police post near the Lion’s Gate entrance to al-Aqsa mosque after allegedly stabbing and wounding two officers shortly before dawn prayers on 13 March.
The ongoing wave of deadly violence that began in October 2015 was provoked by Israel’s unchecked assaults and incursions in the al-Aqsa mosque compound.
Earlier this week, 10 Palestinian security guards were detained, most during raids on their homes, after they prevented an Israeli archaeologist from trying to remove a stone from an underground section below the al-Qibli mosque in the compound, the Ma’an News Agency reported.
“The archaeologist was removed from the area, which is closed to the public, but later tried to re-enter via the underground Marwani prayer hall, when the security guards once again rejected him,” Ma’an added.

Mustafa Nimr, who was shot dead by Israeli policemen in the Shoafat refugee camp last month, was shot from around a meter away, according to a Wednesday report by Israel's Channel 10 News.
According to the report, Nimr was hit by two bullets when he was sitting in a car driven by his relative Ali Nimr.
According to the indictment against Ali Nimr, as he approached the checkpoint, police flagged them down with a flashlight and signaled that the road was closed and that they should turn back, but instead Ali accelerated.
The police later backtracked on this story and accused him of a traffic violation.
Police fired sponge-tipped bullets at the car, but Ali sped up and rammed through the checkpoint apparently after losing control on his vehicle. Ali was charged with causing Mustafa’s death, even though it was police gunfire that killed Mustafa and wounded Ali as well.
During a hearing in Ali Nimr’s case, the Jerusalem Magistrate Court wrote that an examination of Mustafa's body showed he was shot in the head by two bullets “from what looks like a meter away.”
Human rights groups have often sounded the alarm over the extra-judicial murder of Palestinian anti-occupation youth by the Israeli occupation army, often from a very close range.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched, on Tuesday evening, in the funeral procession of a Palestinian was killed by Israeli soldiers in Shu’fat refugee camp, in occupied Jerusalem, on September fifth.
A Red Crescent Palestinian ambulance moved the body of Mustafa Nimir, 27, from Hadassah Israeli medical center in Jerusalem, to his family home in Anata town, northeast of Jerusalem.
Hundreds of Palestinians marched from Nimir family home in Ras Khamis neighborhood, and headed to the local mosque for funeral prayers before burying him in the town’s graveyard.
The Israeli army killed Nimir on September 5th, after the soldiers and undercover units invaded Shu’fat and killed the Palestinian allegedly for trying to carry out a ramming attack against them.
The Israeli army held the body of the slain Palestinian since his death, and only allowed its release Tuesday.
The army later said the Palestinian was accidentally shot and killed by the soldiers, and that he posed no threat to the lives of the soldiers who were operating in the refugee camp.
It admitted that Mustafa Nimir was not the driver of the vehicle at all, but then tried to blame his brother-in-law for driving ‘erratically’, which they claim led them to shoot both men, killing one and injuring the other.
