The occupation forces executed a young Palestinian man – today, Saturday – in the city of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, after storming his house in the town of Dura and arresting his brother. The occupation forces also stormed Nablus, which led to clashes, while it continued its arrest campaign.
The martyr’s family confirmed that the occupation forces stormed the house, destroyed its contents, beat them, and fired live bullets inside the house, wounding their son.
She added that the occupation forces prevented anyone from approaching him and providing treatment to him, before they arrested him while he was bleeding, and they also arrested his brother, noting that the soldiers seized two vehicles and stole a sum of money and checks, before they withdrew from the house.

Thus, the number of martyrs in the West Bank since October 7, during the wave of raids launched by Israel, rose to 274 martyrs.
