IDF rejects claim it caused woman's death by shoving her to ground

Palestinian sources accused Border Police officers of causing the death of a 60-year-old Palestinian woman by shoving her during a raid in the West Bank town of Abu Dis on Sunday - a charge the Israel Defense Forces vehemently rejected.

Palestinian sources said Mariam Ayyad had tried to block the path of IDF soldiers who came to Abu Dis, near Jerusalem, overnight to detain students lodging in a property she owned. They said IDF soldiers shoved the woman who then hit the pavement.

The IDF confirmed that troops were carrying out searches in the woman's home, but said the Palestinian charges were unfounded and that her death appears to have been caused by a preexisting heart condition.

The military sources verified that the Border Police conducted the raid in an attempt to locate a suspect, but stated there was no contact between the woman and the police. The sources said the woman apparently slipped and fell during the raid.

A doctor who was present during the incident rushed to examine the woman and offer her medical assistance, but was unable to revive her, the IDF said. The army said the exam, bolstered by statements by family members, indicated that the woman had had a heart condition for years, which apparently led to her death.

"The doctor offered her help and tried to revive her, but in accordance with all the signs, he determined that she died because of a heart problem," an IDF source said on Sunday. He said the Border Police officers acted properly during the operation.

The director of the clinic where Ayyad was taken says she arrived dead, with a broken skull and possible internal bleeding.

An IDF spokesperson said Ayyad fell on a stairway in the overnight raid but attributed the fall to an apparent heart attack. The spokesperson added that family members said she had a heart condition. It denied that any soldier pushed Ayyad or caused her to fall, and said that an army doctor had tried to help Ayyad before pronouncing her dead.

"She went outside in order to prevent them from arresting someone in her house," one of the students, who would only be identified by his nickname, Abu Yaffa, told Reuters. "They knocked her down and there was blood on her head."

Nesrin Jasan, an Abu Dis doctor who examined Ayyad said, "The cause of death was being pushed to the ground and being struck in the head."

The incident looked likely to stoke tensions in the West Bank, where
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has maintained control since breaking with Hamas rivals who routed his forces in the Gaza Strip in June 2007.

In a separate incident, Palestinians threw several firebombs early Sunday at an IDF post near Abu Dis and at soldiers leaving from there to search the area.

No IDF soldiers were wounded in any of the incidents yesterday.

IDF soldiers killed a 14-year-old Palestinian from Asira al-Kabaliya village in the northern West Bank on Saturday, saying he was about to throw a firebomb at them.

In another incident last week, armed settlers went on a rampage in the West Bank settlement of Asira al-Kabaliya, injuring at least eight Palestinians. The settlers were responding to the stabbing of a 10-year-old Israeli boy by a Palestinian at the illegal outpost of Shalhevet Yam near Yitzhar.
