Two Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli forces in separate events in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israeli forces shot and killed 20-year-old Aref Lahlouh was shot and killed near the city of Qalqilya in the West Bank, claiming that he attempted to stab soldiers. 17-year-old Mohammad Ali was killed during confrontations in the Shu’fat refugee camp.
As the siege of Shu’fat refugee camp enters its fourth day, Palestinians there have launched a massive civil disobedience campaign to oppose Israel’s policy of collective punishment.
An Israeli siege of Shu’fat refugee camp in the West Bank is entering its third day as Israel conducts a manhunt to capture a Palestinian resistance fighter who killed an Israeli soldier this past weekend. Residents of the camp are running low on basic needs and supplies, including necessary medical resources, while the death toll across Palestine continues to rise. In response, the Nablus-based armed resistance group Areen al-Usud has called for strikes across the West Bank in solidarity with Shu’fat and nearby Anata, which is also facing restrictions.
Yesterday in major operation more than 1,000 Israeli forces entered Shuafat Refugee camp and demolished by explosion the family home of a Palestinian who killed three and wounded 14 in a car ramming attack in November 2014, causing clashes between residents and Israeli police.
