Israeli forces killed two Palestinian teenagers and wounded two young men on Sunday night, in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.
Media sources, on Monday morning, announced that occupation forces killed 15-year-old Reda Sami Hassan Awad and 19-year-old Issa Arafat Ismail Awad while they were in the vicinity of the illegal “Karmei Tzur” colony, built on Palestinian lands.
After shooting the two teens, Israeli soldiers prevented ambulance crews from approaching, leaving them on the ground bleeding, and proceeded to confiscate their bodies.
Israeli forces also shot two Palestinian young men with live ammunition in Beit Ummar town; they were transported to the hospital in stable condition.
On Sunday night, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its ambulance crews transported a 15-year-old child to the hospital after he was shot in the leg with live rounds by illegal Israeli colonizers who invaded Beit Ummar town, under army protection.
Later, the PRCS reported that its ambulance crews provided first aid to two citizens, one who sustained a live gunshot wound to the abdomen and another who was shot in the leg.
It added that one of the injured citizens suffered critical injuries and said that medics were performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) after being shot by occupation soldiers.
Medics arrived to the scene in the vicinity of the nearby Al-Arroub refugee camp, stabilizing the injured before transporting them to the hospital for treatment.
Since the beginning of the year, Israeli soldiers and illegal colonizers have killed 70 Palestinians, including 17 children and 5 women in the occupied West Bank, while the Israeli occupation continues to withhold the bodies of at least 19 of those killed.
Among those, 19 were killed in Hebron, 15 in Ramallah, 12 in Nablus, 7 in Jerusalem, 5 in Tubas, 4 in Jenin, 3 in Bethlehem, 2 in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, 2 in Qalqilia, and 1 in Salfit, according to the Shireen Observatory.
