IOF Murders Two Palestinians, Shoots Others in West Bank

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot several Palestinians today, murdering two civilians and injuring others, in the city of Nablus, West Bank. Wafa news agency reported the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza as saying that the IOF raided Balata refugee camp in the Old City, and shot several civilians, murdering the 33-year-old Abdul Hakim Mamoun Abdul Hamid Shaheen and the 25-year-old Diaa Hani Abdul Rahman Duweikat. Spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) Ahmad Jibril stated that he received a report of injuries inside a house in Hashashin neighborhood, adding that the IOF prevented the ambulance crews from reaching the destination of the injured. He pointed out that three paramedics from PRCS crews were injured by live bullets after being deliberately targeted by occupation soldiers despite prior coordination through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) while trying to evacuate a number of injuries in Balata camp, in addition to two young men being injured by live bullets. The IOF has now slaughtered at least 720 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 160 children, since the beginning of the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip in October 2023. The cities, towns and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank have been subjected to daily raids and incursion by the IOF and colonists. These raids are usually accompanied by clashes, arrests, shootings, and usage of tear gas. The pace of these crimes has increased in conjunction with the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023. Source: Qatar News Agency
