🚨 The occupied West Bank saw renewed deadly clashes this weekend, with Israeli forces reporting two Palestinians killed near Hebron on Sunday. The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) stated soldiers opened fire after the men allegedly attempted to attack troops—one with a knife, the other with a gun.
Escalating Tensions
This follows a larger raid in Nur Shams, near Turkarm, where at least 14 Palestinians died in a two-day operation. IDF troops faced armed resistance during the raid, which began Friday and continued into Saturday. 💔
Broader Context
- Since October 2023, Israel has intensified West Bank operations, arresting thousands—including armed group members and civilians.
- The violence coincides with debates over a proposed Israel aid package, raising questions about regional stability.
Analysts warn the cycle of raids and clashes risks further inflaming tensions. As global attention remains divided, young activists urge humanitarian focus: 'Lives are at stake, not just politics.' 🌍✊
