A young man was killed by Israeli occupation forces south of Hebron, and his body was seized.

A young man died on Friday evening from wounds he sustained from Israeli occupation forces' bullets, south of Hebron.

The Ministry of Health reported that the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed it of the martyrdom of the young man, Wadih Muhammad Othman Samamra (19 years old), by the occupation forces' bullets near the town of Dhahiriya, and the detention of his body.

Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces stormed the town of Dhahiriya with several military vehicles and raided the martyr's home in the Al-Baha area.

Earlier, security and local sources told WAFA that Israeli occupation forces shot Samamra with live bullets near the Shama settlement, built on the lands of the towns of Adh Dhahiriya and As Samu, south of Hebron, claiming he had attempted to carry out a stabbing attack. They then arrested him while he was wounded. The occupation declared the area a closed military zone and increased its presence in the area.

Our correspondent reported that the martyr Wadih is the brother of the martyr Sand, who was martyred two years ago in the same place.

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 occupied Jerusalem, leading to the martyrdom of more than 1,000 citizens since October 7, 2023, the injury of approximately 7,000, and the arrest of more than 17,000, according to official data.
