Two Palestinian young men were martyred by Israeli occupation forces' bullets this Thursday morning, during confrontations that erupted in the town of Beit Furik, located east of Nablus city in the northern occupied West Bank. Local sources reported that the martyrs are Mahmoud Hussein Nasrallah Hanani and Mohammed Samer Milatat, who were directly targeted by occupation soldiers with live ammunition, leading to fatal injuries from which they died on the spot.
Official sources in the General Authority for Civil Affairs stated that the occupation authorities officially informed them of the detention of the bodies of the two martyrs, Hanani and Milatat, refusing to hand them over to their families or to Palestinian medical teams. This step comes within the framework of the occupation's systematic policy of detaining the bodies of martyrs, which human rights organizations consider a blatant violation of international and humanitarian norms and a collective punishment for the victims' families.
Regarding the details of the incident, Hebrew reports claimed that the two young men attempted to carry out a stabbing operation targeting Israeli occupation army personnel stationed near the town, which soldiers used as a justification for firing heavily at them. Eyewitnesses confirmed that occupation forces imposed a strict security cordon around the area and prevented Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances from reaching the injured to provide first aid, leaving them to bleed to death.
Nablus Governorate and its surrounding villages are witnessing a continuous escalation in the pace of Israeli incursions and attacks, with repeated incidents of field executions under flimsy security pretexts. Today's crime in Beit Furik joins a series of violations targeting the Palestinian presence in the West Bank, amid international silence regarding practices of deliberate killing and denial of medical care to the wounded.
It is worth noting that the policy of detaining bodies in 'occupation refrigerators' or what is known as cemeteries of numbers, continues to be a bleeding wound for Palestinians, as the occupation continues to use this issue as a political and security pressure card. National forces and human rights organizations demand urgent international intervention to pressure the occupation government to release the detained bodies and ensure the dignity of the martyrs in burial according to Islamic law.
The General Authority for Civil Affairs confirmed that the occupation authorities detained the bodies of the two martyrs after directly shooting them and preventing ambulance crews from performing their work.
