After midnight on Monday/Tuesday, Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian young men, near the city of Tulkarem in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.

Media sources said that Israeli forces opened fire at a vehicle with two occupants, that was driving near the “Nitzanei Oz” military roadblock, west of Tulkarem.

Israeli forces opened heavy fire at everything that moved, and struck the vehicle that was passing by, killing two young men.

The army then proceeded to block ambulance crews from approaching the vehicle to provide first aid to those inside, and subsequently confiscated their bodies.

The two slain Palestinian young men were identified as Abdul-Fattah Salahuddin Jabara and Ahmad Mustafa Mohammad Rajab, both from the Tulkarem refugee camp.

Earlier, the army had invaded the western neighborhood in the city of Tulkarem and positioned sharpshooters in the vicinity of the Al-Murabitin Mosque and the “Geshuri” chemical factories, west of the city.

In related news, a large army force stormed, late Monday night, the town of Anabta, east of Tulkarem from its eastern entrance, and conducted a search operation.

Israeli forces shot and killed three Palestinian young men and injured at least eight others, on Monday afternoon, during an Israeli military incursion into the city of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.

The identities of the slain men are as follows:

1. Ahmad Omar Al-Khudari, 30,

2. Moataz Khaled Sadiq Al-Nabulsi, 28, and

3. Adam Salah al-Din Mansour Farraj, 23.

Israeli forces have now killed 528 Palestinian civilians, including 132 children, while 20 Palestinians have been killed by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, in various regions of the occupied West Bank, since the beginning of the military onslaught against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
