A 26-year-old Palestinian man was killed and five others, including a child, were injured on Sunday during Israeli raids in Nablus and East Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The victim, identified as Nayef Firas Ziyad Samaro, was shot during a raid on the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus, where Israeli forces deployed heavily and fired live ammunition.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said at least 40 people also suffered from tear gas inhalation, with 10 taken to hospital.
Witnesses said Israeli soldiers fired tear gas and stun grenades at civilians, medical crews, and journalists, while conducting searches of shops across the city center.
Child injured as violence spreads
In occupied East Jerusalem, a 13-year-old boy was injured after being beaten by Israeli forces in the northern part of the city, local officials said. He was taken to the hospital with moderate injuries.
The incidents come amid a broader surge in Israeli raids and settler violence across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
According to Palestinian figures, more than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed and around 12,000 injured by the Israeli forces since October 2023, as tensions continue to rise.
