On Saturday night, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that Ahed Azzam Salim, a 16-year-old, from Azzun in Qalqilya, was murdered by the occupation forces while defending his hometown against the IOF raid.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the death of Salim was due to severe injuries he had sustained from the occupation forces, in the east of Qalqilya, after being hit by more than 5 bullets in the abdomen and chest.

The Palestinian adolescents' martyrdom sparked anger among the town's youth, who gathered for his funeral in front of his house.

Earlier, Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that clashes had broke out at the entrance of the town today, during which IOF soldiers fired bullets, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades at Salim and other young men who were contending against the Israeli raid.

Salim fell during these clashes, and he was then transferred to the Darwish Nazzal Hospital in Qalqilya, and the doctors later pronounced him dead with his injuries being the cause of death.

Earlier today, Israeli media reported that a man was killed and at least five others were injured in a ramming operation in "Tel Aviv".

Israeli media considered on Friday that Hamas declared its war against "Israel" by linking the Gaza Strip, the bombing from Lebanon, and the Jordan Valley operation, adding that the movement succeeded in "embarrassing Tel Aviv and grasping it while it was in a state of weakness and confusion."

Zvi Yehezkili, commentator of Arab affairs on the Israeli Channel 13, said there is one course linking Gaza, Lebanon, the Jordan Valley, and the calls chanted in Al-Aqsa Mosque in support of Al-Qassam Brigades Commander Mohammad Al-Deif, which is that Hamas declared war against "Israel" during the "Jewish Passover holiday."

Yehezkili considered that Hamas is testing "Israel" in several arenas, adding that the movement was "aware that what Israel is doing in Gaza is another attack against empty real estate."

The commentator continued, "If we link all these events, I believe that Hamas succeeded in embarrassing Israel and grasping it while it is weak."
