Israeli forces conducted a deadly raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the West Bank, resulting in the killing of a pregnant Palestinian woman and critical injuries to her husband. The Israeli military prevented medical teams from transferring the injured couple to a hospital, ultimately leading to the death of the woman’s fetus. This incident is part of a larger military operation in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces have displaced over 26,000 Palestinians from their homes in Jenin and Tulkarem in recent weeks.
The Israeli army has claimed that their operation in the Nur Shams camp targeted “disruptive activities,” leading to heavy gunfire, explosions, and the deployment of heavy machinery in the area. The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that Israeli soldiers prevented their medical teams from providing aid to the injured, exacerbating the situation. The Israeli forces imposed a curfew in the area and have been conducting raids on citizens’ homes, with several Palestinians being arrested.
Al Jazeera’s reporting from Amman, Jordan highlights the similarities between Israel’s actions in the West Bank and their conduct in Gaza. The military assault in the West Bank is seen as part of a larger agenda to annex the territory by displacing Palestinians and preventing their freedom. This incident has sparked international outrage and calls for accountability for the Israeli forces’ actions in the occupied West Bank.
