Israeli Forces Kill Two More Palestinians in Occupied West Bank

HeadlineDec 18, 2024

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinians near the town of Sofin Tuesday. They were identified as 32-year-old Mohammed Ashqar and 31-year-old Diaa Salmi. Israeli forces reportedly blocked anyone from approaching the wounded men, leaving them to bleed out before medical help could arrive. Israel has carried out near-daily raids across the occupied West Bank, killing at least 800 Palestinians since October 2023 and arresting over 12,000.
