Israeli Regime Troops Kill Two Palestinians in Fresh West Bank Raids

Palestinian medical sources confirmed that 17-year-old Jamil Hanani was fatally shot by Israeli regime troops in Beit Furik, near Nablus, after being wounded by live fire overnight.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said Hanani succumbed to his injuries hours later, while the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that soldiers deliberately targeted the teenager in the chest during their raid on the town.

Witnesses said clashes erupted after occupation forces stormed Beit Furik and opened fire on residents without provocation.

In a separate incident, regime forces shot another Palestinian youth in the Ras al-Joura area, north of Hebron (Al-Khalil), and blocked ambulance crews from reaching him.

The Health Ministry confirmed that the young man was later pronounced dead after being struck in the head by bullets fired by armed settlers.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club reported that the raids extended to Tubas, where occupation forces detained Mahmoud Khair al-Din Abdallah Dragmeh, a 17-year-old boy, after storming his family home.

Meanwhile, regime troops attacked Palestinian farmers harvesting olives in Nahalin, west of Bethlehem, as settler mobs continued their violent assaults on orchards and farmlands throughout the harvest season.

Palestinian sources said that under the protection of Israeli regime forces, extremist settlers have begun establishing a new settlement outpost east of Hebron.

Military bulldozers have been razing Palestinian lands to prepare the site for the expansion, with eight settler families already moved into the area.

Local observers warned that the regime’s stepped-up raids and settlement construction form part of a broader strategy to entrench permanent control over the occupied West Bank, despite growing international condemnation.
