Two Palestinian teenagers killed, others abducted in Israeli raids across West Bank
Israeli occupation forces have shot and killed two young Palestinian men near the illegal settlement of Karmei Tzur in the southern part of the West Bank amid the forces' ongoing assaults in the occupied territory.
Security and local sources identified the deceased individuals as 15-year-old Reda Sami Hassan Awad and Issa Arafat Ismail Awad,19, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
They both hailed from the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city of al-Khalil.
Reports indicate that Israeli troops left the Palestinian teenagers bleeding before taking away their bodies. They did not allow Palestinian Red Crescent teams to reach them.
This comes as the West Bank experienced a significant escalation last night and in the early hours of Monday, involving both Israeli forces and extremist settlers.
In Nablus, a Palestinian woman sustained injuries after being assaulted by Israeli soldiers during a raid on the village of Kafr Qallil.
Additionally, Israeli forces abducted a young man from his residence in the al-Makhfiya neighborhood of Nablus City and conducted raids in other parts of the city and surrounding towns.
In Tulkarem, Israeli forces assaulted and injured a young man while storming the town of Saida and searching several homes.
Israeli military forces also invaded the towns of Bal’a and Illar in Tulkarem, although no arrests were reported.
In Jenin, a young man was abducted by Israeli forces following a raid on his home in the al-Kharuba neighborhood of the city.
Furthermore, Dr. Mazen al-Rantis was abducted after an Israeli military raid on his residence in the village of Rantis.
In a separate incident, a group of extremist settlers set fire to multiple Palestinian vehicles in the village of Shuqba, situated west of Ramallah.
According to reports from Israeli and Palestinian rights organizations, there has been a notable increase in violence perpetrated by Israeli occupiers in the occupied West Bank in recent years, including assaults on Palestinian communities, agricultural land, and property.
Since October 8, 2023, at least 1,169 Palestinians have lost their lives, 12,666 have sustained injuries, around 23,000 have been abducted, and approximately 33,000 have been displaced in the occupied West Bank amid intensified Israeli military raids and settler attacks, according to Palestinian figures.
