Israeli forces raided Nablus' Old City area, broke into a house, opened fire at close range on its owner
A young Palestinian man was killed early Wednesday by the Israeli army, which raided the Old City area of Nablus city in the northern occupied West.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa quoted medical sources as saying that Hamza Al-Khammash, 33, succumbed to the wounds he sustained from Israeli fire in Nablus.
The news agency reported that the Israeli forces raided Nablus' Old City area, broke into the house of Al-Khammash, and opened fire on him at close range.
He was taken to hospital but shortly announced dead, it added.
The latest Israeli raid in Nablus comes amid a military offensive in occupied territories, particularly in Jenin and Tulkarem, where the Israeli army has been engaging in aggressive operations since Jan. 21.
Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank, where more than 940 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 7,000 injured in attacks by the Israeli army and illegal settlers since the start of an onslaught on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The International Court of Justice declared Israel's longstanding occupation of Palestinian territories illegal in July. It demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
