Local and medical sources announced the martyrdom of the sixteen-year-old youth, Fahd Zeidan Owais, after being shot by Israeli occupation army bullets in the village of Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya, located south of Nablus city. This incident occurred during a sudden raid carried out by occupation forces on the village, where they directly fired live ammunition at citizens, resulting in the youth sustaining fatal injuries from which he later died.
At this time, a state of extreme tension and popular anger prevails in Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya village and its surrounding areas, following the official announcement of the youth Owais's martyrdom. Dozens of residents and citizens gathered in front of the hospital where the martyr's body was taken, awaiting the completion of the necessary medical and legal procedures for his funeral in a solemn procession that reflects the magnitude of the tragedy experienced by Palestinian villages.
This new crime comes in the context of continuous military escalation practiced by the occupation army in various governorates of the occupied West Bank, where the targeting of children and youth has significantly increased recently. Field sources indicated that the occupation deliberately uses excessive force and live ammunition against unarmed civilians, which raises the death toll and further complicates the security and field situation.
In light of these tightened military measures, the occupation army continues to impose widespread restrictions on the movement of citizens around Nablus city, by closing some entrances and setting up sudden military checkpoints. National and local activists expressed their strong condemnation of the continuation of these blatant violations, stressing that targeting children represents a flagrant breach of all international laws and norms that protect civilians under occupation.
The youth Owais lost his life after being directly hit by live ammunition during the occupation forces' raid on the village.
