On Friday 22 April, Palestinian Lotfi Ibrahim al-Labadi, 18 years-old, from the town of al-Yamoun, northwest of Jenin city in the occupied West Bank, died after being shot by Israeli forces.
Al-Labadi was shot last Monday when occupation forces stormed al-Yamoun. Israeli forces shot the teenager in the face.
Israeli forces raided a number of homes in the town, which led to confrontations with scores of Palestinians, against whom occupation army forces used tear gas and live rounds.
Videos circulated on social media show two young men lying on the ground, one of whom was al-Labadi, having been shot. They were detained by Israeli forces, before being released to Palestinian medics.
That same day, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the death of the 18 year-old Hanan Mahmoud Khaddour. Khaddour died as a result of being shot by the Israeli army forces in the north of the West Bank.
Local sources said that “Hanan is a high school student from Faqquaa town, in the Jenin Governorate. She was in Jenin city in order to attend a class. Caught in an Israeli army operation, she was shot by Israeli soldiers, and after transfer to Ibn Sina Hospital in a critical condition.”
The Jenin Governorate has seen repeated incursions by occupation forces over the last period, with numerous attacks against Palestinian citizens reported.
