On Tuesday evening, Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian man in the Atouf Medow in the occupied West Bank’s Northern Plains of the Jordan Valley.
Media sources said the army shot Rabea’ Mohammad Daraghma (Al-‘Anbousi) and left him bleeding until he succumbed to his wounds, after preventing Palestinian medics from reaching him.
They added that the soldiers then took Rabea’s corpse with them after refusing to hand it to the local medics.
The Israeli army claimed its soldiers opened fire at Daraghma who allegedly attempted to carry out a shooting attack near the Bekaot military roadblock.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers prevented its medics from reaching Daraghma and assaulted them before confiscating all their telecommunication devices.
The army also deployed more troops in the area, especially in Palestinian farms and orchards, before invading Atouf ransacking several homes and one mosque, allegedly looking for surveillance recordings and equipment.
Daraghma’s death brings the number of Palestinians who were killed by Israeli army fire in 24 hours in the West Bank to thirteen, after the soldiers earlier killed twelve in several parts of the occupied West Bank, while the number of slain Palestinians in the West Bank, since October 7, 2023, to 616 including 144 children, in addition to wounding more than 5400.
In the Gaza Strip, the army has killed at least 39.653 and injured more than 91.535, mostly children, women, and elderly, in addition to many medical workers and journalists, since October 7, 2023.
