On Monday, Jan. 2, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot and killed two Palestinians after breaking into Kafr Dan village, west of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry affirmed that the young man, Muhammad Samer Hoshiyeh, 22, was killed after being shot in the chest, and the young man, Fouad Muhammad Abed, 18, died after being shot in the abdomen and thigh.
Six other Palestinians were injured during the military raid, one of them in critical condition.
The IOF troops stormed overnight Kafr Dan village accompanied by a military bulldozer as a prelude to destroy the family houses of two killed Palestinians involved in a shooting attack that left an Israeli army officer killed.
The IOF surrounded the two martyrs’ family houses and arrested one of their family members.
Early on Monday morning, the IOF managed to blow up the family house of the martyr Ahmed Abed in Kafr Dan.
Under its collective punishment policy, IOF demolishes family houses of Palestinians accused of conducting anti-occupation attacks in flagrant violation of international laws.
224 Palestinians were killed by IOF gunfire in 2022, including 59 in Jenin.
