At least one Palestinian killed and three wounded by bullets from the Israeli Army in Nablus, West Bank

July 20 (EUROPA PRESS) –

At least one Palestinian has been killed and three others have been wounded by Israeli army bullets in a military operation in the West Bank city of Nablus.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health has also indicated that the three wounded have been taken to the hospital, noting that two of them are in critical condition, as reported through their profile on the Facebook social network.

The Wafa news agency has reported that the attack, which resulted from the assault on Joseph’s tomb in Nablus, resulted in the death of a 19-year-old boy, identified as Badr Sami Ribhi al Masri. It has also reported that more than a dozen people have suffered suffocation from the launch of tear gas.

For its part, the Israel Defense Forces, which usually comment on the operations they carry out in Palestinian territory, have not commented for the moment.

Al Masri’s death comes days after the Israeli Army launched an operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, the largest-scale carried out by Israeli forces in the West Bank since the end of the Second Intifada nearly two decades ago. . The operation resulted in the death of twelve Palestinians and one Israeli soldier, as well as more than one hundred wounded Palestinians.

The Israeli Army indicated the main objective was that the place “is not a safe place” for “terrorists” given the uptick in violence in recent months, while the Palestinian Prime Minister, Mohamad Shtayé, affirmed that “it is the Palestinian people the one who has the right to self-defense”, a right that “does not have an occupying power”.
