ISTANBUL (AA) – A Palestinian was killed on Saturday as the Israeli army bombed the northern West Bank city of Tubas with an anti-tank Energa shell.
Adham Zaid Izzat al-Masri was killed by Israeli soldiers after they besieged his home early Saturday, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
The Israeli army stormed the town of Aqaba early in the morning, surrounded a house, and attacked it with an Energa shell, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.
Additionally, two Palestinians were injured in the town due to the Israeli army’s incursion, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
At least 781 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,300 injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The escalation follows a landmark opinion in July by the International Court of Justice that declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land “illegal” and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
