Young man killed and others injured by occupation bullets during raid on Jericho city

Medical and field sources reported several injuries among citizens during a raid carried out by occupation forces on the city of Jericho, which resulted in the martyrdom of one person and various injuries.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday evening the martyrdom of young man Sa'id Na'il Sa'id Al-Sheikh (24 years old), who succumbed to his injuries from occupation forces' bullets during their raid on Jericho city. The director of Jericho Governmental Hospital, Dr. Riyad Eid, clarified that Al-Sheikh died as a result of a direct bullet wound to the abdomen by the occupation, which caused severe liver damage, leading to his martyrdom despite the intensive efforts of medical teams to save him.

In addition to the martyrdom, medical and field sources reported several other injuries among citizens during the raid, including two live bullet wounds of varying severity, and two injuries resulting from direct assault by occupation soldiers.

Medical teams also recorded the injury of a Palestinian woman who was deliberately run over by a military vehicle belonging to the occupation forces during the incursion into the city, necessitating her transfer for treatment.

This escalation comes amid continuous repeated raids on Jericho city and its camps, where occupation forces deliberately impose strict security measures that cause casualties among unarmed civilians. The martyrdom of young Sa'id Al-Sheikh represents a new case added to the record of escalating violations in the West Bank since the beginning of this year.
