IOF shoots dead two Palestinians in Jenin: sources
Israeli occupation forces on Thursday morning shot dead two Palestinians and injured six others in the northern West Bank district of Jenin, according to local sources.
Local sources said that an Israeli military force barged its way into Al-Yamun and Kafr Dan towns, west, and northwest of the city, starting violent clashes.
The Israeli soldiers opened fire at local youths, killing two and injuring six others, including two serious injuries.
One of the two deaths was identified as Shas Kamamji, the brother of Ayham Kamamji, one of the inmates who managed to dig their way out of the highly fortified Gilboa prison in September.
The second was identified as Mustafa Abu-Arub, a citizen of Misilyah village, south of the city, who was gunned down at the western entrance of Jenin.
The soldiers imprisoned four Palestinians, including three brothers of Kamamji, after storming their houses in Kafr Dan and another from al-Yamun.
Many hours earlier, on Wednesday late night, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian and injured 11 others in Silwad town, north of Ramallah.
Besides, on Wednesday night, Israeli forces murdered 14-year-old Qusai Hamamra in Husan village, west of Bethlehem.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli forces killed human rights lawyer Muhammad Hassan Assaf and wounded at least 17 others in a raid in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Assaf, 34, succumbed to the critical wounds he sustained after he was shot by Israeli forces in the chest.
Sources added that earlier this week, Ghada Sabateen, a 47-year-old widowed Palestinian mother of six, was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in Husan village, west of Bethlehem.
Videos documenting the moment she was shot showed her posing no threat to the soldiers. No weapon was found on her.
The massive tensions have come as Israeli police restarted to crack down on Palestinians gathering at Bab al-Amoud in the occupied city of East Jerusalem since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
