A Palestinian citizen was martyred on Sunday morning when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him after storming his house in Meithalun town, south of Jenin.
The IOF informed the Palestinian Authority liaison office that 40-year-old Hasan Rabaya was critically injured during the raid on his house before he died of his injuries soon later.
Earlier, the Red Crescent said that the IOF prevented its ambulances from evacuating the wounded citizen.
Local sources said that a large number of Israeli troops besieged the house of Rabaya after special forces infiltrated into the town before raiding it and opening fire at him, adding that the IOF kidnaped him as he was still bleeding.
Meanwhile, armed clashes reportedly took place between resistance fighters and Israeli forces in Meithalun town.
Martyr Rabaya had a teen son who had been shot dead in the town by Israeli forces on July 11, 2024.
Last night, a Palestinian teenager was injured by IOF gunfire in Beit Ummar town, northern al-Khalil.
The Red Crescent said that one of its ambulance crews evacuated from Beit Ummar town a teenager suffering from a bullet injury in his thigh to the hospital.
Local sources said that Israeli forces stormed al-Dhaher area of the town and occupied the rooftop of a house, which provoked clashes with local youths, adding that one kid was injured by a bullet and others suffered from their exposure to tear gas during the events.
In a separate incident, several citizens suffered from inhaling tear gas during evening clashes yesterday between Palestinian youths and Israeli soldiers in Sa’ir town, northeast of al-Khalil.
