Injuries, arrests as IOF storm Qabatiya in occupied West Bank
Several Palestinians were injured in confrontations between Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds.
Two Palestinian youths were injured by Israeli gunfire and three were arrested as Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Qabatiya at dawn today, Wednesday, south of Jenin, in the northern occupied West Bank.
The IOF combed the area amid heavy military reinforcements at the town’s entrances. The occupation forces also besieged a Palestinian’s house, which led to violent confrontations with Resistance fighters.

In the same context, Israeli occupation forces fired gas bombs at Palestinians gathered in the Halhul bridge area, north of Al-Khalil, upon receiving the prisoner, Mo’men Al-Sharif, who was released after spending 22 years in Israeli occupation prisons.

Yesterday, the Palestinian youth, Adam Essam Ayad, 16, was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces during their storming of the Dheisheh refugee camp in Beit Lahm, according to Palestinian media.
Israeli brutality as the new Israeli government took over seems to know no limit. Adam is the third Palestinian to be martyred in the occupied West Bank during the past few hours.
Yesterday, Hamad Samer Hassan Hoshieh, 21, from the town of Al-Yamoun, was murdered by the IOF with several bullets to the chest, and Fouad Mahmoud Ahmed Abed, 18 years old, from Kafr Dan, also succumbed to injuries in his abdomen and thigh, while six others were seriously wounded.
