Israeli forces kill Palestinian youth at entrance to West Bank refugee camp
Israeli forces have fatally shot another Palestinian young man at the entrance to a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 22-year-old Mohammad Hussein Ismail Masalma succumbed to critical injuries he had sustained earlier on Saturday.
He was hit by live bullets fired by Israeli forces at the entrance to the al-Fawwar refugee camp, located south of the West Bank city of al-Khalil, also known as Hebron.
Masalma was injured after the regime’s forces stationed at the camp’s entrance opened fire at his vehicle, leaving him severely wounded. The Palestinian youth was then left bleeding.
The Israeli military claimed that the young man was involved in an alleged car-ramming attack that targeted the regime’s forces who were manning a checkpoint at the entrance to the camp.
Masalma was rushed to hospital in a critical condition where he was later pronounced dead.
The Israeli regime has exceptionally intensified its attacks against Palestinians throughout the West Bank since it launched a devastating war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
The regime started its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 following an operation by the territory’s resistance movements, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm. The historic operation came in response to the regime’s decades-long violence against Palestinians.
Since the start of its military aggression, the Israeli regime has killed at least 21,672 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while injuring over 56,000 others.
