Media sources announced, on Friday, the martyrdom of the young Palestinian man who carried out the operation in “Tel Aviv” against Israeli settlers.

National and Islamic forces in Jenin mourned the young martyr Raad Fathi Zaidan Khazem, 29 years old, from Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that Raad Khazem was waiting for Israeli intelligence agents near the Yafa Mosque, and he confronted them before he was martyred.

In the aftermath of the operation, Israeli media said that Israeli security was dealt a major blow yesterday, adding that “the last thing Bennett should do is to hail the killing of the man who carried out the operation.”

Meanwhile, Israeli commentators stressed that Israeli settlers are paying the price for the incompetency of Israeli officials.

On Friday, Israeli Prime minister Naftali Bennett hailed the Israeli forces who shot the Palestinian youth, adding that the Israeli security forces remain on “maximum alert” in “Tel Aviv” and throughout the Israeli settlements over concerns of “further incidents or copycat attacks.” Israeli media criticized Bennett's comment, describing it as the last thing he should be doing in light of the massive security failure his government is responsible for.

On Thursday, Israeli media commented on the shooting in "Tel Aviv," saying that the scenes of what is happening in "unparalleled."

This came after two settlers were killed in a shooting operation in "Tel Aviv," and more than 6 injuries were reported, most of them in critical condition.

The "Tel Aviv" Occupation Police Brigade commander was cited by Israeli media as saying that what is certain so far is that 15 were wounded in the shooting operation.

Israeli escalation 

Since the beginning of the Islamic month of Ramadan in early April, Israeli suppression and attacks on Palestinians have drastically increased.

Israeli Occupation forces have been suppressing Ramadan Gatherings in the occupied city of al-Quds, arresting dozens of young Palestinians across the last week on Bab Al-Amoud (Damascus Gate).

Last night and early Thursday morning, the Israeli occupation forces arrested 13 Palestinians from separate parts of the occupied West Bank, and Al-Quds.

The arrests included 5 young men from Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate, 3 from Jenin, and 4 from Beit Lahm and Al-Khalil, according to the Palestinian WAFA agency.

In response, Palestinians have retaliated by carrying out operations in the heart of the occupied areas which resulted in the death of 13 Israelis, including members of the security forces.

Yesterday night, Israeli police attacked Palestinians in Bab Al-Amoud area in Al-Quds, arresting 3 of them.

In addition, the Palestinian Prisoners Club said in a human rights report that the occupation forces have, since the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak, arrested hundreds of Palestinians.

Since the start of Ramadan on April 2, the Israeli Occupation Forces have arrested 33 Palestinians so far.
