Palestinian masses on Sunday turned out for the funeral procession of three Palestinians who were killed by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and settlers during raids on Nablus, Qalqilya and Salfit cities of the West Bank.
The masses waved banners of Hamas and the other resistance movements and chanted slogans supportive of the resistance and calling for a response to the Israeli repeated crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The martyrs are Adnan Zaid, 21 from Qalqilya, Ahmad Asi, 41, from Salfit and the 14-year-old child Yazan Akoub from Nablus.
Martyr Zaid died of his sustained wounds after he was shot in the back and the abdomen by the IOF soldiers during their incursion into Qalqilya city.
As for Martyr Asi, he died of his wounds after he was shot on Saturday by Israeli settlers who stormed the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan in Salfit, opened fire at citizens and set fire to Palestinians’ houses and vehicles.
In Nablus, the child Akoub was shot on Saturday in an IOF shooting near Tel town. His body was detained for several hours by the IOF soldiers who blocked the movement of ambulance cars and prevented them from extending medical assistance to the child. His family received his body at dawn on Sunday.
Since October 7, the IOF has murdered 262 Palestinians in the West Bank, 63 of them in Jenin, 42 in Tulkarem, 35 in Al-Khalil, 35 in Nablus, 26 in Ramallah, 25 in Occupied Jerusalem, 10 in Tubas, 9 in Qalqilya, 7 in Bethlehem, 7 in Jericho, and 3 in Salfit.
