Israeli terrorist forces kills Palestinian kid, injures others in eastern Nablus

A Palestinian child was shot dead and four young men were injured last night when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at them in the eastern area of Nablus City.

Ahlulbayt News Agency: A Palestinian child was shot dead and four young men were injured last night when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at them in the eastern area of Nablus City.

The Palestinian health ministry said that 16-year-old Ahmed Shahada died of a fatal injury after an Israeli live bullet penetrated his heart.

Three young men were also injured by IOF gunfire, one critically, another one was hit in his head with a stun grenade and many others suffered from their exposure to tear gas during violent clashes with Israeli soldiers in the eastern area of Nablus.

The Red Crescent said that one of its ambulances was showered with bullets by the IOF during the events.

The IOF stormed the eastern area of Nablus to secure it for hundreds of extremist Jewish settlers who flocked to Joseph’s Tomb to perform rituals.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers and their vehicles came under fire as they were heading for Joseph’s Tomb after resistance fighters ambushed them in al-Quds street in eastern Nablus.

In a statement, the armed group of Lions’ Den said that its fighters alongside others from Balata Brigade clashed with the IOF in an area near Joseph’s Tomb and other locations of eastern Nablus.

Local sources also explained that dozens of young men blocked roads in the eastern area of the city with rocks and burning tires and confronted Israeli soldiers and their vehicles by throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at them.

They added that the skirmishes escalated after more Israel troops aboard military vehicles, including a bulldozer, stormed eastern Nablus and spread through its streets in order to provide protection for buses and cars carrying hundreds of settlers.

Those settlers aboard buses and cars gathered at first at the Beit Furik checkpoint in the east of the city before heading for the area, where Joseph’s Tomb is located, after the bulldozer and troops cleared the way for them, according to the sources.

Israeli troops and settlers storm every week the eastern area of Nablus to perform rituals at the tomb, which they claim to be the resting-place of the biblical patriarch Joseph, while locals and Palestinian historians affirm that the grave belongs to a local medieval Muslim Sheikh called Youssef ad-Duwaik.
