Israeli soldiers kill a Palestinian, attack a house in the West Bank | Israel-Palestine War News

Israeli forces killed a 34-year-old man in Jenin Camp, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian in an attack on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said, as soldiers also bombed houses among the attackers.

The Ministry of Health in Ramallah identified the perpetrator of Saturday’s attack as 34-year-old Nour al-Din Kamal Hassan Fayyad, saying he was “killed by military fire in Jenin prison”.

The Israeli army said that the soldiers chased after they tried to “enter” the area of ​​the Jenin camp, where “the soldiers are working, and the entry is prohibited”.

Since January last year, Israel has launched large-scale military operations in Palestinian refugee camps in the occupied northern territory. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said that the Israeli operations targeting the Jenin and Tulkarem camps have displaced 40,000 Palestinians.

Separately on Saturday, the Wafa news agency reported that Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian boy after beating him in the Shu’fat refugee camp, northeast of Jerusalem, and another from the village of Zawata, west of Nablus. A Palestinian was beaten by Israelis living in the town of Sinjil.

Israeli forces also captured the cities of Tubas and Qalqilya, and the villages of Tammun and Zaatara, east of Bethlehem, and attacked the village of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, Wafa said.

Israeli settlers burned down an agricultural building and wrote racist slogans in the town of Turmus Aya, northeast of Ramallah.

‘The attack must be stopped’

Elsewhere, the UN chief condemned the arson attacks on a mosque and several vehicles in a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank.

Ramiz Alakbarov, the deputy coordinator of peace operations in the Middle East, said masked people set fire to the site in the village of Jibiya and painted Hebrew texts.

“Attacks on religious places and civilian property are unacceptable and disrupt peace, human dignity, and freedom of worship,” Alakbarov said.

He said the attack comes as a result of the escalating violence in the West Bank which continues to harm civilians and destroy their property.

“I call for a swift and thorough investigation, and for all those responsible to be held accountable,” he said. “These attacks must be stopped.”
