"Israeli forces have shot dead a 19-year-old youth during a raid near Jenin, marking the second killing in the occupied West Bank in two days as Israel accelerates its annexation plans in the territory. The military confirmed the killing of the young man, identified as Ahmed Jihad Barahmeh, in the town of Anzah on Wednesday, claiming its forces shot him after he threw an explosive device at them."
"Since Israel began its genocidal war, it has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers have also been emboldened, rampaging in Palestinian communities with impunity, backed by the military, attacking and killing residents and burning property and olive groves. There is rarely, if ever, any legal recourse for Palestinians. Two Israeli settlers assaulted the mayor of Beita, a Palestinian town near Nablus, in the West Bank, on Wednesday, according to the Wafa news agency."
Israeli forces killed 19-year-old Ahmed Jihad Barahmeh during a raid near Jenin, with the military saying he threw an explosive device and medics reporting he died of chest wounds. The death followed the killing of 20-year-old Saeed Murad al-Nasan by armed settlers in al-Mughayyir. Near-daily raids in the West Bank have intensified since the war on Gaza began, with a sharp escalation after Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged annexation. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank since the war started. Settlers have attacked residents, burned property and olive groves, and injured 540 Palestinians this year, while Palestinians rarely obtain legal recourse.
