The Israeli army has killed a Palestinian man during clashes that erupted after the soldiers blew up two apartments owned by prisoners in the West Bank, Palestinian sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israeli forces stormed the cities of Ramallah and al-Bireh and surrounded two residential buildings, Palestinian security sources told Xinhua news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One apartment belongs to prisoner Ayser al-Barghouti, and the other to prisoner Khaled al-Kharouf, Xinhua news agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli army arrested al-Barghouti and al-Kharouf on January 8 on the charge of carrying out a shooting attack east of Ramallah that killed an Israeli woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forces planted explosives inside the two apartments and then blew them up, causing loud explosions in the two areas, the sources added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following that, clashes erupted between Palestinians who threw stones and empty bottles at Israeli forces while the forces fired live and rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas canisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical sources told Xinhua news agency that the young man, Moataz Sarsour, from the al-Am’ari refugee camp, was critically wounded by live bullets to the chest and was transferred to the Palestine Medical Complex, where doctors declared him dead due to his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel frequently demolishes the homes of Palestinian attackers, which the Israeli government asserts is intended to deter potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cities, villages, towns, and refugee camps in the West Bank have been experiencing increasing tensions between Palestinians and Israelis since October 7, 2023, when the Hamas-Israel conflict broke out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, more than 620 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire and shelling across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
