RAMALLAH, Sunday, October 22, 2023 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli occupation forces during two separate Israeli raids this morning into the towns of Tammun and Qabatiya in the north of the occupied West Bank, according to local and medical sources.

In Qabatiya, in the northern province of Jenin, a large-scale Israeli occupation army force stormed the town, provoking confrontations with local Palestinian residents. During the confrontations, a young Palestinian man named Obaida Khaled Kmail was shot dead by live Israeli ammunition.

In the town of Tammun, in the Tubas province, a Palestinian youth was also shot dead by Israeli occupation forces as they stormed the town, sparking confrontations with locals.

Eyewitnesses reported that residents of Tammun bravely confronted a unit of Israeli occupation forces that had stormed their town. During this tense encounter, live Israeli ammunition was fired intensively, leading to the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old young man, Adnan Abu Helmi, who was struck in the head and was killed immediately as a result.

Six other young men in the region also suffered varying degrees of injuries during the clashes that erupted in the nearby city of Tubas.

The latest figures bring up the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank since last night to five.
