Two young Palestinian men killed in Israeli military raids in occupied West Bank
Two young Palestinian men have been killed by Israeli forces during raids in the occupied West Bank cities of Ramallah and Qalqilya.
WAFA news agency reported on Tuesday that Moataz Sarsour, a resident of Ramallah's al-Am’ari refugee camp, was wounded after being shot by the occupation forces in the chest.
Sarsour was transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah city, where he was pronounced dead, the report added.
The Israeli raid began at dawn on Tuesday after the regime forces stormed the al-Tira neighborhood in Ramallah and demolished the house of Palestinian abductee Aysar Barghouti.
The occupation troopers also destroyed the apartment of Khaled al-Kharouf, another Palestinian abductee, in the Umm al-Sharayet neighborhood in al-Bireh city.
The attacks sparked clashes, during which Israeli forces fired bullets and tear gas at the Palestinians and injured four young men, including Sarsour, according to the report.
An 18-year-old Palestinian was also shot dead near the city of Qalqilya.
Since Israel unleashed a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in early October 2023, casualties have been rising in the West Bank as a result of intensified near-daily raids by the regime troops into Palestinian towns.
A total of 624 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces since the beginning of Israel’s Gaza onslaught.
Nearly 40,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have also been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza in the past more than 10 months.
