Israeli forces kill Palestinian over alleged stabbing attack in occupied territories

The Israeli regime’s forces have fatally shot a Palestinian man over an alleged stabbing attack near the city of Ashdod in the occupied territories.

According to the Palestinian Information Center, the late Sunday attack took place at a shopping center in Gan-Yavne settlement, leaving three settlers with serious injuries.

Later the same day, the Israeli military announced that the Palestinian man carrying out the attack was killed by the regime’s forces.

A large number of Israeli forces, accompanied with military vehicles, invaded the town of Deir Samit south of the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil, attacking the home of the Palestinian man, who has been identified as Moemen Al-Masalmeh.

The Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the vicinity of his home, wounding one person.

The regime’s media claimed that Israeli forces were also looking for a second person involved in the attack.

The operation came a few hours after the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas resistance movement, republished a message from its commander-in-chief, Mohammed Deif, who called on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to use all resources at their disposal to fight against Israeli forces.

“Today is the day. Whoever has a rifle should come out with it, for this is the time. And whoever does not have a rifle should come forth with their machetes, their pickaxes, or a Molotov cocktails, with their trucks or bulldozers or cars,” Deif said.
