According to the institution, Tel Aviv forces opened fire last night against a group of Palestinians at the Huwwara military post, south of the town.

As a consequence, Imad Abu Rashid, 47, was fatally shot to the head, abdomen and chest, and Ramzi Ziyyara, 30, was shot in the heart.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned “the heinous crime”, which it considered an integral part of the daily series of massacres against the West Bank civilian population.

The Foreign Ministry accused Israel of killing defenseless people, who do not represent any danger to the military.

Four days ago, the army killed five Palestinians during a raid in Nablus against the Lions’ Den, a new militia that has carried out several deadly attacks on Israeli soldiers in recent months.

Since mid-October, the Israeli military has the town blockaded, amid numerous international criticisms for the humanitarian consequences of this measure.

According to the Health Ministry, Israeli troops have killed more than 180 Palestinians since the beginning of this year, including 51 in the Gaza Strip.
