On Wednesday morning, Israeli soldiers killed a child and a young man, and injured eleven Palestinians in the Al-Far’a refugee camp and Tammoun town, south of Tubas in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
The slain Palestinians have been identified as Moath Ibrahim Zahran, 23, from the Al-Far’a refugee camp, and Abdul-Rahman Khaled Bani Odah, 16, from Tammoun.
The two were killed during protests that occurred when many army vehicles invaded Al-Far’a and Tammoun.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers also shot eleven young Palestinian men.
The invasion of the Al-Far’a refugee camp began when many vehicles came from the direction of the Al-Hamra Israeli military roadblock and led to protests at the entrance of the refugee camp.
The Israeli army fired barrages of live rounds, in addition to many rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
It is worth mentioning that the soldiers began the invasions of Al-Far’a and Tammoun shortly after midnight.
Kamal Bani Odah, the head of the Tubas office of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS), said the soldiers stormed and ransacked many homes before abducting eleven Palestinians, including a woman.
He stated that the soldiers abducted three Palestinians in Tammoun, and added that one of them is Laila Bani Matar, the wife of former political prisoner Hani Ali Bani Matar, and said that the soldiers abducted her when they could not find her husband at home.
Furthermore, the soldiers abducted Ahmad Abdullah Bisharat, and Jalaluddin Taleb Qteishat, the father of Ramah Qteishat, 32, whom the soldiers killed in late October 2023.
On Wednesday afternoon, Palestinian medical sources confirmed the death of Abdul-Nasser Mustafa Riyahi, 24, who succumbed to serious wounds he suffered when the Israeli army invaded the Balata refugee camp north of the northern West Bank city of Nablus at dawn.
Israeli soldiers and paramilitary colonizers have killed 471 Palestinians since the beginning of this year, including 262 since October 7 in several parts of the occupied West Bank.
In the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli missiles and shells killed more than 16,248 Palestinians, including 7,112 children and 4,885 women, and injured more than 43,000 since October 7.
