Israeli forces assault students near Nablus

Israeli forces on Sunday morning assaulted students and prevented them from attending their school in the village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, to the south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, local sources said.


Israeli soldiers stopped students as they were walking to their school, located on the main Nablus-Ramallah Street, and asked to either go back or take some other long road.

Harassment of students and civilians by Israeli forces and settlers is a routine occurrence in the occupied West Bank, especially in areas adjacent to illegal settlements.

Palestinian teen shot dead by Israeli army near Hebron

A Palestinian teenager was shot dead on Saturday night by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Beit Awwa, to the west of Hebron City in the southern West Bank, according to the Ministry of Health.


Israeli soldiers opened gunfire towards three Palestinian civilians near Beit Awwa, seriously injuring one of them, Badawi Khaled Masalmeh, 18 years old. He was left to bleed helplessly as the soldiers denied access of medics to the scene, and was announced dead of his critical wounds a few minutes later.

There were no further details about the reason for the shooting.

Israeli occupation forces have a notorious record of killing Palestinian civilians on the alleged pretext of security.
