Israeli Military Kills 20-Year-Old Palestinian During Raid

HeadlineSep 08, 2022

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian man during a raid on the al-Faraa refugee camp early Wednesday. Family members say Younis Ghassan Tayeh was shot in the chest from a distance of about 100 meters. This is Tayeh’s twin brother, Hussein, who witnessed the killing.

Hussein Tayeh: “I asked him not to cross the street, since a soldier might be taking aim. As soon as he crossed the street, a soldier immediately shot him.”

It’s the latest of what have become daily incursions by Israel’s military into the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
