A Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces on Saturday near the village of al-Lubban al-Gharbi, to the west of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank amid escalation between Palestinian resistance faction and Isreal.
The Palestinian has not been identified yet with the circumstances behind his fatal shooting remaining unclear.
Meantime, a second Palestinian youth was reportedly injured by Israeli occupation forces in a separate incident at the northern entrance to the city of al-Bireh.
Sources in Gaza said that the resistance fighters have kidnapped several Israelis and the head of the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council, Liebstein was killed while fighting.
Moreover, over 100 Israelis have been wounded in rocket strikes across south and central areas of Israeli-occupied territories of Tel Aviv and Rehovot
Israel says it is at “war” after Hamas launched a large-scale military operation against Israel saying it was in response to the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence.
Some reports indicate that Palestinian fighters have captured several Israeli troopers
The surprise operation comes after thousands of settlers in recent days carried out provocative tours of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
It also follows a major uptick of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians over the past year, occurring at a rate of three per day for the first eight months of 2023, according to the United Nations.
