"the freed prisoner Raeq Basharat was martyred in the assassination operation carried out by the occupation forces in the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas."
Prior to the television announcement, the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, reported that "a special unit of the Israeli occupation army stormed the town of Tammun." The agency added that the unit "shot a young man, wounding him, while helicopters and reconnaissance aircraft flew overhead."
Local sources reported that the occupation forces arrested wanted man Murad Abu Hasib after he was wounded, while they continue to detain the body of the martyr Basharat after his assassination, and to bulldoze the town's infrastructure.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced in a statement that an ambulance worker was injured by live bullet shrapnel while transporting an injured person in the town. It added that its crews in Nablus treated more than 80 Palestinian casualties, more than 55 of whom suffered from suffocation, and the rest from live bullets and physical assault.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army announced that it had killed two Palestinians and injured four of its soldiers during a military attack on the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
In parallel with the annihilation of Gaza, the Israeli army and settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of at least 977 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 7,000, and the arrest of more than 17,500, according to Palestinian data.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a war of genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide, backed by the United States, left approximately 182,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and a famine claimed the lives of many, including children.
