Today, Friday, two Palestinians were killed and a third was wounded by Israeli occupation forces' bullets near the Hawara military checkpoint, south of Nablus, in the northern West Bank.

In a brief statement, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that Imad Abu Rashid, 47, was shot in the abdomen, chest and head by the Israeli occupation, and his death was announced, while two others were critically wounded, one in the abdomen and the other in the chest.

Later, the Ministry announced the death of one of the injured, the young Ramzi Sami Zabara (35 years), from a critical wound of the occupation bullets in the heart.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health indicated that the health condition of the third young man is stable after he underwent surgery at Rafidia Governmental Hospital.

Yesterday, Thursday, the Israeli army arrested 30 Palestinians during the storming of several cities and towns in the occupied West Bank.

The occupation army carried out raids in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin and Qalqilya (north), Bethlehem (south), and the outskirts of occupied Jerusalem, during which 21 Palestinians were arrested, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club and eyewitnesses.


On a daily basis, the occupation army storms the West Bank to arrest Palestinians, which leads to confrontations with the residents.

At dawn last Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces carried out a large-scale military operation in the center of Nablus, which lasted for several hours, and ended with the death of 5 Palestinians, including Wadih al-Houh, who is accused by Israel of leading the "Aren of the Lions" group.

The massive Israeli incursion into Nablus sparked violent confrontations with the Palestinians, as dozens took to the streets and threw stones and bottles at the occupation forces, set fire to tires and closed a number of streets to prevent them from advancing.

Since October 12, Nablus and its camps have been living under a strict siege imposed by the occupation army, after one of its soldiers was shot dead by the "Lions' Den" group, in response to the continuous attacks by the army and settlers against the Palestinians.
