The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that a Palestinian boy, Moamen Yassin Jaber, 17, was martyred after sustaining a very critical wound in the chest by live bullets fired by the Israeli occupation in Al-Khalil.

Confrontations erupted in several areas across the West Bank, following the occupation's crimes, which were committed at dawn today by assassinating a group of resistance fighters in Al Khalil, spearheaded by the martyr Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi.

A number of injuries were also transferred to hospitals for treatment due to bullet wounds, including two critical injuries that were rushed to Al-Khalil Governmental Hospital.

In Ramallah, six civilians were wounded by live bullets and were transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex, including two in critical conditions. 

Dozens of young men confronted the IOF attacks at the northern entrance to the city of Al-Bireh, opposite the illegal settlement of "Beit El" in the middle of the occupied West Bank and at the entrance to Beit Lahm.

Earlier today, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced that 15 were wounded, three of them with live bullets, at the entrance to Al-Bireh, following the suppression of a demonstration in protest of the assassination of the three martyrs in the city of Nablus.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians gathered on Tuesday in the city of Nablus for a mass funeral procession to mourn the Nablus martyrs, the leader of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi, and his two companions, Islam Sabbouh and Ibrahim Taha.

The Palestinian martyrs were shot dead during their confrontation with Israeli occupation forces that besieged them in a house in the occupied West Bank, in the old town of Nablus.
