A Palestinian from Tammun was shot by the Israeli occupation army in the West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday.

The ministry added in a statement that Saddam Hussein Bani Odeh, the 26-year-old Tubas martyr, was wounded by a bullet "fired by the occupation soldiers at the entrance of Tammun, which penetrated his left shoulder and heart" before settling in his left lung.

Residents in the area said that Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Tubas at 3 am today. The occupation opened fire at the youths who were throwing stones during the confrontations that took place.

Palestinian sources for Al Mayadeen have confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces were under no threat. 

Moreover, two residents of the city of Tubas were arrested.

In turn, the media office of the Resistance Committees in Palestine mourned martyr Odeh, stressing that his blood and that of all "martyrs will remain a beacon illuminating the way for our resistance until the occupiers are defeated and the land is liberated."

The Committee further stressed that the only adequate response to Odeh’s martyrdom is the escalation of resistance and the intifada in order to strike "the Zionist enemy in all parts of Palestine by all means" until its defeat.

Last month, the Israeli occupation forces perpetrated another shocking crime by shooting 15-year-old martyr Amjad Osama Abu Sultan in Beit Jala. The Palestinian teenager died shortly afterward, succumbing to his injuries.
