Khalil Suleiman

He was killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 2002 while traveling in an ambulance to rescue a wounded girl during the Second Intifada.

[11] In an interview with B'Tselem, a man who lived nearby said that the IDF had taken over an upstairs bedroom in his home the day of the attack.

[9] According to witnesses interviewed by Human Rights Watch and Reuters, Suleiman's ambulance was attacked while it was moving slowly[9] on a narrow street.

The International Red Cross (ICRC) released a statement advocating for both Israelis and Palestinians to ensure the safety of emergency medical workers.

In their statements, Norwegian People's Aid and the National Arab American Medical Association denounced Israel's killing of Palestinian healthcare workers.

[2][8] The European Commission noted that the ambulance was one of six that ECHO had donated to PRCS in January 2001 and called the attack a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

They stated that "deliberate attacks on medical personnel, vehicles and infrastructure constitute a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.

"[7] Suleiman's death and other Israeli attacks on healthcare in the West Bank were mentioned in reports by several organizations including Amnesty International, B'Tselem,[6] Physicians for Human Rights-US,[16] and the United Nations Secretary-General.

[21] The year after Suleiman was killed, German artist Thomas Kilpper and several Palestinian young people built a 16 foot sculpture in the shape of a horse out of the scrap metal of houses and vehicles destroyed by the IDF in Jenin.
