Israeli forces shot and killed a young man Wednesday night, after illegal settlers stormed the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas in the northwestern part of the West Bank. Occupation forces also shot a Palestinian child with live rounds after invading the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
The ARAB 48 News outlet reported that the young man Alaa Khaled Sbeih was killed by occupation forces on Wednesday night, at the same time illegal colonizers invaded the village of Tayasir.
Initial reports by the WAFA News Agency said that local Palestinians confronted Israeli settlers who stormed the town, before the army arrived and fired live rounds at civilians.
They added that a number of colonizers stormed the village, sparking confrontations, followed by the arrival of occupation forces who shot a young man with live ammunition, detained him, and prevented medical crews from reaching him.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that Israeli troops detained its ambulance crew, seizing their mobile phones, inspecting their ID’s, and preventing them from reaching the scene for two hours.
The Israeli army announced that one of the settlers who participated in the attack against Palestinian citizens, sustained a serious head injury as a result of rocks thrown by those protecting their land.
According to the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan 11) the settler who is responsible for killing the young Sbeih is also a member of the Israeli army who “was on leave and was present there”.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces shot a Palestinian child with live ammunition on Wednesday night after invading the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.
The PRCS reported that its ambulance crews transported a 15-year-old child to the hospital after he sustained a live gunshot wound during an army incursion into the Al-Arroub camp.
