Israeli occupation forces have reportedly killed two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, as military operations expand across the region. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the incidents occurred during separate raids, heightening concerns over Israeli assaults.
Early Wednesday, Israeli special forces launched a targeted operation in the ‘Ein Beit el-Ma refugee camp, located near Nablus. Eyewitness accounts from the official Palestinian news agency WAFA indicate that the occupation forces opened fire on a vehicle within the camp, resulting in the fatal shooting of Uday Adel al-Qatouni, a young Palestinian man who was nearby.

Israeli occupation forces then barged into a number of homes, and deployed snipers on their roofs, before launching a search campaign. Several people were arrested accordingly.
Israeli soldiers also stormed the Balata, Askar al-Qadim and Askar al-Jadid camps east of Nablus and raided a number of homes, searched them and ransacked their contents.
They rounded up a number of local residents in the camps.
