On Sunday dawn, Israeli soldiers invaded the Deheishe refugee camp south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank and killed a young man.

Media sources said several army jeeps invaded the refugee camp before the soldiers stormed and ransacked homes and abducted a young man, Mohammad Yasser Jawareesh, leading to protests.

They added that the soldiers fired many live rounds, killing a young man, Omar Lahham, 20, after shooting him in the head.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics tried to reach the young man, but the soldiers prevented them from approaching him as he bled to death.

Also Sunday dawn, Israeli soldiers shot four Palestinians in the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus and the Qalandia refugee camp north of the occupied capital, Jerusalem.

On Saturday, the Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Committee has confirmed Saturday the death of another political prisoner in an Israeli prison, bringing the number of detainees who died in captivity since October 7 to six.

The Committee stated that Thaer Samih Abu Assab (38 years old) from Qarawat Bani Hassan town, northwest of Salfit in the central West Bank, had died in an Israeli occupation prison.

Early Saturday dawn, the Israeli army fired a missile at a home in the center of the Balata refugee camp, east of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, killing five Palestinians and injuring at least two, in addition to causing extensive damage.

The slain Palestinians are the general leader of the Balata Brigade of Al-Aqsa Brigades of the Fateh movement, Mohammad Khalil Khader Al-Miskawi, in addition to Mohammad Mousa Al-Msaimi, Mohammad Fawzi Hashshash, Mohammad Abbas Abu Mustafa and Ali Faraj.

On Saturday, the Israeli army continued its massive invasions and violent searches of homes across the occupied West Bank, including the occupied capital, Jerusalem, wounding, and abducting dozens of Palestinians.

In an updated statement, Saturday, after constant Israeli bombing, the Health Ministry in Gaza said Israeli missiles and shells have killed more than 12.300 Palestinians; including 5000 children and 3300 women and added that the number of wounded Palestinians has exceeded 30.000, about %75 of them are children and women.

At least 3600 Palestinians, including at 1750 children, remain buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings, and are presumed dead, especially since rescue operations are done by hand and basic tools due to ongoing Israeli bombing and the lack of fuel, and power blackout.

Also, Israeli missiles have killed 200 Palestinian doctors, nurses, and medics, and 56 journalists, including the latest victim Mustafa Sawwaf Abu Mohammad.
