Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) launched a large-scale detention campaign in the West Bank, during which a number of Palestinians suffered from suffocation as a result of confrontations in the town of Al-Khader, south of Beit Lahm.

In occupied Al-Quds, the IOF stormed the Shuafat refugee camp, entering from the direction of the military checkpoint. Simultaneously, other forces were heavily deployed in the Old City of Al-Quds following confrontations.

Furthermore, the IOF also raided the Al-Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, where they used an elderly Palestinian man as a human shield.

Three Palestinians have fallen at IOF hands a few hours apart

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the martyrdom of three Palestinians on Thursday in separate incidents during confrontations with Israeli occupation forces.

18-year-old Palestinian Abdul Hadi Fakhri Nazzal and 25-year-old Habib Mohammad Ikmail from Qabatiya town in Jenin were martyred on Thursday following confrontations with Israeli forces storming Qabatiya, the Health Ministry announced.

Habib Mohammad Kumail was murdered earlier today by Israeli occupation forces, while Nazzal, who was earlier shot by the IOF in the chest and neck during confrontations, was announced a martyr later after succumbing to his wounds.

Earlier on Thursday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said Palestinian Samir Awni Aslan, 45, was murdered by Israeli occupation forces after being fatally shot in the chest in Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied Al-Quds.

Sources from the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah confirmed the arrival of Aslan, who died of a bullet in the heart after a large force of occupation soldiers stormed his house and brutally detained his son, Ramzi.

With the martyrdom of Abdul Hadi Fakhri Nazzal and Habib Mohammad Kumail, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of this year has risen to nine, including three children.
