The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that Mohammad Azizi, 25, and Abdelrhman Soboh, 28, were reportedly shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces during a military raid into Nablus on Sunday morning.
Local sources reported that after midnight, Israeli special forces unit of Yamam raided the al-Yasmina neighborhood in the Old City of Nablus and cordoned off and attacked a house, in which a number of Palestinians were inside, for about four hours.
The forces then bombed the house with explosives and gunfire killing the two Palestinians. 12 others were also injured with Israeli gunfire, including one described to be in critical condition.
Since the start of 2022, Israeli forces have killed more than 65 Palestinians, including Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
An Israeli group, whose founder supported US President Donald Trump’s plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and was founded by soldiers and former intelligence officers, was behind last year’s flights that facilitated the travel of hundreds of Palestinians from the war-torn Strip and landed in South Africa and Indonesia, an AP investigation has found.
Israel is reportedly planning to further restrict the entry of aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, despite the so-called ceasefire and amid an already severe humanitarian crisis after two years of genocide.
