In Occupied West Bank, Israel Kills Two Women, Including One 8 Months Pregnant

HeadlineFeb 10, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, Israel is intensifying its military assault, which has already displaced 35,000 Palestinians. On Saturday, Israeli troops raided the Nur Shams refugee camp, where they killed two women, including one — 23-year-old Sundus Jamal Shalabi — who was eight months pregnant. Her husband was critically injured. Palestinian officials said efforts to save her baby failed in part because the Israeli military prevented the couple from being transferred to the hospital.

Meanwhile, in Lebanon, an Israeli airstrike killed six people Saturday in the eastern Beqaa region in the latest Israeli violation of the November ceasefire.
