RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories — A Palestinian was killed during a raid by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank on Wednesday, the Palestinian health ministry said.اضافة اعلان

“Yunis Ghasan Tayeh, 21, was killed by a bullet to the heart fired by a soldier of the occupation in Al-Fara camp,” between Jenin and Tubas, in an area that has seen increased Israeli violence in recent weeks.

The resistance movement Islamic Jihad said he was a member of their organization.

Israeli forces were there to arrest a wanted person, they told AFP. They arrested 25 people overnight.

Tayeh is the second Palestinian killed by Israeli forces in as many days; Israeli occupation forces Tuesday killed Mohammed Sabaaneh, 29, and wounded 16 others when they entered Jenin in the occupied West Bank to carry out a home demolition.

Israeli forces have carried out near nightly and often deadly raids on Palestinian towns and cities.

Human rights activists consider home demolitions a form of collective punishment, which is illegal under international law.
