Israeli forces kill young Palestinian man during Jenin refugee camp raid

Israeli forces have shot and killed a young Palestinian man in Jenin, health officials say, as the military carries out wide-ranging arrest campaigns across the West Bank.

The man was identified as 21-year-old Ahmad Muhammad Lotfi Massad, a resident of the town of Burqin, during a raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the early hours of Wednesday.

The director of Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin, Jani Abu Jokha, said Massad had been shot in the head. Three other Palestinians with moderate wounds were transferred to the medical facility as well.

Palestine's official Wafa news agency, citing security and local sources, reported that Israeli forces conducted a predawn raid on the camp.

The Israeli troops broke into dozens of homes and violently searched them, causing excessive property damage, before detaining at least three Palestinians.

Violent confrontations broke out in the camp between Palestinians and Israeli forces, who fired live who fired stun grenades, tear gas canisters as well as live bullets in order to disperse the protesting crowd.

Massad’s death follows that of another Palestinian killed on Tuesday, when Israeli forces stormed a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 20-year-old Ahmed Ibrahim Oweidat “succumbed to critical wounds sustained by live bullets to the head,” during the shooting in Aqabat Jaber camp near Ariha.

Israeli forces kill young Palestinian man in West Bank refugee camp raid

Israeli military forces have killed a young Palestinian man and injured two others after they raided a refugee camp in the eastern part of the occupied West Bank.

On Monday, Secretary General of the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad resistance movement Ziyad al-Nakhala said the Palestinian people are more energetic than ever before in their confrontation with the Zionist regime.

Nakhala made the remarks in a conference dubbed “Palestine, the Central Issue of Islamic Ummah,” which was held in the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a.

“Our nation is faced with the Zionist regime’s onslaught, which seeks to Judaize al-Quds and create new realities on the ground,” he said, adding, “The Palestinian nation is creating new equations in its confrontation with the Zionist regime.”

Resistance leaders vow to stand by al-Quds, blast Israeli barbarity

Muslim leaders, officials, and personalities vow to stand by al-Quds and blast the Israeli regime’s barbarity against Palestinians.

He said the conference was another proof of Yemen’s support for the Palestinian cause and that the aggressors in Yemen are approaching the Zionist regime despite its Judaization moves and destruction of the Palestinian nation’s identity.

“The Zionists use military force and, under the guise of international organizations, exploit the compromising Arab countries that have recognized the legitimacy of this occupying regime. They also cause conflicts with the Palestinian people in order to take advantage of them,” the secretary general of the Islamic Jihad movement said.

Nakhala said Palestinian people are facing plots by an enemy that has never ceased any efforts to dominate al-Quds through the falsification of history and the massacre of people in al-Aqsa Mosque.
