West Bank: Israeli soldiers stab an injured person and kick others
A Palestinian doctor said, on Wednesday, that Israeli soldiers “assaulted” wounded people in the city of Tulkarm in the northern West Bank, stabbing and beating them, which posed a threat to their lives.
The head of the Tulkarm Governorate Doctors Syndicate, Radwan Balibla, added that the Israeli army “stopped Palestinian ambulances containing wounded people from Nour Shams camp and assaulted them.”
He added, "One of the injured was stabbed in the neck by one of the soldiers inside the ambulance, which posed a threat to his life."
Balibla pointed out that the injured person "sustained several wounds as a result of an Israeli bombing on a march, and his health condition is serious, and his stabbing aggravated his condition."
He pointed out that "two others were taken out of the ambulances and were kicked, beaten with rifle butts in the areas where they were injured, and insulted."
Balibla described what happened as a “flagrant violation of humanitarian law,” calling for “intervention by international bodies to punish and hold Israel accountable.”
At dawn on Wednesday, 6 citizens were killed and 3 were injured in an Israeli bombing of Nour Shams camp near Tulkarm.
The West Bank is witnessing a wave of tension and field confrontations between Palestinians and the Israeli army, coinciding with the deterioration of the situation in the Gaza Strip.
According to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, “the number of killed in the West Bank since October 7 has risen to 311.”
