Jenin: A Palestinian was martyred by Israeli occupation forces Thursday near the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
According to Qatar News Agency, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that the General Authority for Civil Affairs informed it of the death of a 40-year-old man by Israeli occupation forces near Jenin, and that the occupation forces withheld his body.
The occupation forces claimed that the martyr carried out a shooting attack against the occupation forces near the Harmeesh settlement, built on private Palestinian land near the town of Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin.
In parallel with the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 990 people, the injury of approximately 7,000 others, and the arrest of more than 17,500.
