Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) shot dead three Palestinians since Sunday, wounded six others, detained at least 85 and demolished eleven houses in the past week while a Jewish settler and four Israeli soldiers were killed and 10 others were wounded in Palestinian attacks in the last 24 hours.
Late Tuesday, IOF announced they had shot dead a Palestinian man in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah on the Palestinian-Egyptian border, claiming he was armed.
“Soldiers on an army patrol near Rafah came under attack from automatic gunfire and a grenade and located an armed Palestinian whom they killed by opening fire on him,” an Israeli source claimed.
A Palestinian security source said that the clash had broken out next to the illegal Jewish settlement of Rafah Yam.
On Sunday, IOF shot dead Fuad Jarwan, 17, as he sat on his balcony in the village of Beita studying for a high school examination, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
On the same day, IOF claimed that Palestinian Iyad Bilal Marzouq Al-Masri, 16, was killed when he “prematurely detonated” an explosive devise in the village of Jinesfut, near the illegal Jewish settlement of Kedumim in northern West Bank.
