At least three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire East Jerusalem and Hebron city of the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to Palestinian media.

The official Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that “two young men were shot dead by Israeli forces while six others were injured in the town of Abu Dis, east of occupied Jerusalem.”

Eyewitnesses said “large forces from the occupation army stormed the town of Abu Dis and surrounded a house, which caused violent confrontations in the place.”

The Israeli forces also “demolished parts of the besieged house before firing an Energa shell at it, which led to the death of the young man trapped inside the house,” WAFA reported.

The Health Ministry announced the death of Musa Diya Musa Zaarour, 22, as a result of “wounds he sustained during confrontations with the occupation forces in the town.”

The ministry also announced that “Ahmed Habis Debabise, 22, was also killed in a raid carried out by Israeli soldiers in the Nuba town of Hebron city.”

Israeli soldiers raided various points of the occupied West Bank throughout the night and detained some Palestinians, local sources said.
