A young man was killed by Israeli occupation forces west of Salfit.

The Ministry of Health announced, Saturday evening, the death of a young man by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the town of Bruqin, west of Salfit.

The ministry said in a brief statement that the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed it of the martyrdom of the young man, Nael Sami Abdel Rahman Samara (36 years old), by the occupation forces' bullets in the town of Bruqin, this afternoon.

The occupation forces fired live bullets at the young man, Samara, in the "Al-Balata" area of the town of Bruqin, wounding him, before arresting him while he was injured.

According to local sources, the occupation forces sent additional military reinforcements to the area, amid heavy firing of sound bombs and tear gas, and the detention of dozens of citizens.

For three days now, the occupation forces have continued their aggression against the towns of Bruqin and Kafr ad-Dik, under a tight siege, daily raids, arrests, and land leveling operations near civilian homes.

In parallel with the war of extermination being waged in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, leading to the martyrdom of approximately 970 citizens since October 7, 2023, the injury of approximately 7,000, and the arrest of more than 17,000, according to official data.
