Two Palestinians, including a child, were shot and killed, on Sunday evening, by Israeli occupation forces’ bullets, and others were injured, including one seriously, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

Media sources said that a large military force in at least 20 armored vehicles invaded the village of Zawata, northwest of Nablus, triggering protests among local Palestinian youths.

Soldiers fired barrages of live rounds and tear gas canisters, shooting five Palestinians including a child, with live ammunition, and causing dozens to sustain inhalation injuries from tear gas exposure.

The Ministry of Health confirmed the death of two Palestinians identified as Jihad Mazen Subhi Saleh, 29, and Muhammad Qasim Abu Zar, 17.

Media sources added that two injuries arrived at the Rafidia Hospital, one of whom sustained a critical gunshot wound to the chest, while another young man was transported to the Arab Specialized Hospital with a mild injury to his foot.

Earlier Sunday, occupation forces shot and killed 20-year-old Qatada Salama Ghunaimat, 20, at the entrance to the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.

Furthermore, five other Palestinians, including a child, were killed on Sunday, three of whom were shot near Jenin, Tubas, and Nablus, while two others were killed by an Israeli airstrike in the Jenin refugee camp, in the northern part of the West Bank.
