A Palestiniankilled in a clash with occupation forces in Nablus.

A medical source reported the martyrdom of a Palestinian and the detention of his body inside a house that was besieged by Israeli occupation forces last night, Monday, east of the city of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army radio stated that the army killed a Palestinian whom Israel accuses of carrying out a car-ramming attack about a year and a half ago, which resulted in the death of two soldiers, and he had been missing since then, before being killed by an Israeli force last night.

A correspondent reported that the occupation army continued to storm the city of Nablus, deploying additional military reinforcements in the vicinity of the area to secure the incursion of hundreds of settlers to the tomb of Prophet Joseph - peace be upon him - east of the city.

Hours earlier, the Israeli army announced - in a statement - that there had been an exchange of fire with a Palestinian east of the city of Nablus.

According to Channel 12, the exchange of fire resulted in the death of the Palestinian after "rockets were fired at the building where he was holed up."

The newspaper "Israel Hayom" reported that Israeli forces fired anti-tank missiles at the building.

It claimed that the young man "had surrendered to the Palestinian security forces in Nablus after carrying out the car-ramming operation near the city."

It added, "Israel demanded his handover, but the Palestinians refused," according to its claims.

The occupation forces had carried out a series of incursions in Nablus last Saturday, which included the old town and its surroundings, where heavy gunfire was heard during the raid and arrest operations, according to eyewitnesses.

The Israeli forces also stormed the Ras Al-Ain area and the town of Hawara south of the city, conducting raids and searches of several homes amid heavy military presence.

This comes amid an escalation of incursions by the occupation army into various Palestinian cities and towns in the West Bank, and the daily attacks carried out by settlers under its protection, which have increased since the beginning of the Israeli genocide in Gaza in October 2023.
