The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday that two Palestinians, one aged sixteen, were killed by Israeli army gunfire during clashes in the al-Far'a refugee camp and the town of Tamoun in northern West Bank. The ministry stated that "the martyrs are the child Abdul Rahman Bani Auda (16 years old) and the young man Muath Zahran (23 years old)."
In another statement, the ministry clarified that three Palestinians were injured in the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, with one in "extremely critical" condition. Furthermore, during the Israeli army's incursion into the Balata refugee camp this morning, three injuries were reported at the Rafidia government hospital, including two in "serious condition."
No statement has yet been issued by the Israeli army regarding the events that occurred in the West Bank from last night until this morning. The Palestinian Prisoner Society reported that since last evening, Israeli forces have arrested at least 60 citizens, including a woman and former detainees. The organization indicated that "the total number of arrests since October 7 exceeded 3,640 detainees in the West Bank, including Jerusalem."
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency, noted that "while Israel commits daily massacres against our people in the Gaza Strip, the occupation forces and terrorist settlers continue their daily crimes in the West Bank, which include ongoing incursions into Palestinian cities, towns, and camps, as well as carrying out field executions, the latest being in the town of Tamoun and the al-Far'a camp in Tubas."
Abu Rudeineh urged the UN Security Council for urgent intervention to halt this comprehensive aggression and stop the spilling of Palestinian blood amid unprecedented international silence. He added, "Military solutions have proven to be a failure; the only solution is to end the occupation and recognize the Palestinian people's right to freedom and independence in accordance with international legitimacy and law."
