Israeli snipers shot another ISM activist in the head on April 12th. 22-year old, Tom Hundall from Manchester Britain is in critical condition. The activists were being shot at while protecting some children from Israeli gunfire. Tom was in plain view of the sniper towers and was wearing a bright orange fluorescent jacket with reflective stripes.
In the wake of the previous shooting of Brian Avery, 23, a US ISM activist shot in the face by Israeli Forces in Jenin on 5 Apr and the murder of Rachel Corrie, 23, who was killed on 16 March when she was crushed twice by an Israeli army bulldozer, the increased targeting of human shield activists seems obvious. The U.S.-led war on Iraq has emboldened the Sharon regime in its lawlessness.
