WEST BANK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A Palestinian man succumbed to an injury he sustained from Israeli army gunfire in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday evening.
The man died after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) near the western cemetery of the city.
Palestinian resistance factions also confirmed that they confronted the Israeli forces’ raid into the city and targeted the Israeli troops with an explosive device in the vicinity of the western cemetery.
During the raid, Israeli forces fired live ammunition, tear gas, and sound bombs, wounding six people and suffocating 15 others because of excessive gas inhalation.
Meanwhile, local citizens and school students suffered from teargas inhalation after the IOF violently broke into Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, amid heavy fire of teargas and sound bombs.
On the other hand, Jewish settlers injured a disabled Palestinian while he was grazing his livestock in Khirbet Ibziq in the occupied West Bank’s northern Jordan Valley.
The settlers attacked the 20-year-old shepherd and injured him in the thigh.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society confirmed that its crew transported the man to the hospital after he was stabbed.
The attack comes as Israeli soldiers stepped up their incursions in the occupied West Bank for more than a month now.
On Sunday, Israeli tanks rolled into the north of the West Bank as Israeli authorities announced they would remain there for a year while preventing about 40,000 displaced Palestinians from returning to their homes.
