Biography
Daoud Mohammad Zobeidi, 40, was a Palestinian resident of the Jenin Refugee Camp in the northern West Bank. He was a former political prisoner and the brother of Zakariyya Zobeidi, a high-profile Palestinian detainee who escaped from Israel’s Gilboa prison in 2021. Daoud came from a family deeply affected by the Israeli occupation—his mother and brother Taha were both killed by Israeli forces during the 2002 invasion of Jenin camp. Known for his resilience, Daoud remained active in his community despite his family’s long history of suffering under military violence. On May 13, 2022, he was shot in the abdomen during an Israeli military raid, and despite undergoing surgery and intensive care, he died of his wounds on May 15, 2022 at Rambam Hospital in Haifa. His death drew protests from Israeli extremists and further underscored the targeting of Palestinian families deeply tied to resistance.

Dozens of Israeli right-wing fanatics, led by Member of Knesset Itamar Bin-Gvir, went to the Israeli medical center where Daoud had been transferred, and held a protest demanding the Israeli authorities refrain from providing Daoud any medical care “at Israels’ expense.” Daoud was shot with a live round in the abdomen before Palestinian medics provided him with the needed first aid and rushed him to Ibn Sian hospital in Jenin.1 israelpalestinetimeline.org Open source
