Israeli forces have killed two Palestinian young men during a violent raid on the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm and its refugee camp.
According to Palestinian Wafa news agency, the two Palestinian youths died on Monday after the regime’s forces attacked the Tulkarm refugee camp, prompting clashes with Palestinians.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victims as 25-year-old Mahmoud Ali Hadayda and 28-year-old Hazem Muhammad al-Hosary, adding that they were seriously injured after being hit by Israeli forces’ live fire in the chest.
The two men were then transferred to a local hospital in Tulkarm, where they were declared dead.
Eyewitnesses said after wounding al-Hosary, Israeli forces left him bleeding for more than half an hour, before allowing an ambulance to approach and take him to hospital.
Before raiding the Tulkarm camp, a large number of the regime’s forces attacked the city from its western side, deploying snipers on a number of rooftops opposite to the camp as a reconnaissance plane flew low over the area.
The new fatalities came after on Saturday, Israeli forces fatally shot three Palestinian young men in similar violent raids across the West Bank.
The regime has escalated its violent attacks across the occupied territory, killing over 185 Palestinians there since October 7 when it launched a war of aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip.
More than 11,200 Palestinians, including more than 8,000 women and children, have been killed, and 27,490 others injured since the regime started the war on Gaza in response to an operation staged by the territory’s resistance groups.
