NABLUS, June 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Two brothers succumbed to their wounds sustained after being hit by Israeli army gunfire in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Health Ministry announced on Tuesday evening.

The Ministry reported the General Authority of Civil Affairs announcing that Nidal Mahdi Ahmad Amireh, 40, and his brother, Khaled, 35, died of their injuries after being shot by Israeli occupation forces, who were still withholding their bodies.

The gun-toting soldiers opened live ammunition at the Amireh brothers in the course of the large-scale military aggression on the city.

Since the predawn hours of Tuesday, the occupation forces have been launching a wide-scale military aggression in the heart of Nablus, in what local sources describe as the largest such incursion in more than two years.

The occupation forces opened fire at Palestinians, including a paramedic, deployed tear gas, arrested several individuals, and violently raided homes during the ongoing aggression.

Earlier today, the gun-toting soldiers had fired live ammunition at two Palestinians, including a paramedic, injuring them. Ambulances were blocked from reaching them.

There were cases of tear gas inhalation as the occupying forces fired tear gas bombs at houses in the alleys of the Old City, a densely populated area.

Israeli officers announced a curfew via loudspeakers, ordering residents to remain indoors until Wednesday morning - the first such measure imposed in Nablus since the Second Intifada in 2000, raising fear among residents that it may lead to a prolonged and devastating aggression similar to those taking place in Tulkarm and Jenin.
