West Bank, young Palestinian killed by Zionist forces


Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian youth during an attack on unarmed civilians in the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilyah city in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victim as Ayed Azzam Saleem, 20, who died shortly after being seriously injured by Israeli gunfire. Witnesses said Israeli forces directly fired at Palestinian youths who were demonstrating at the entrance to the town of Azzun to protest daily Israeli atrocities in the territories occupied. Saleem, was first reported seriously injured and rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead of his injuries.

Several Palestinians suffocated last night from toxic gas fired by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Medical sources confirmed that Palestinians were asphyxiated while they were into their homes after occupation forces fired gas bombs. The Gaza Strip witnessed Israeli bombing of agricultural sites and land by warplanes on Friday night and dawn, which it has led to widespread destruction of property, amid constant flights of reconnaissance drones.
