A child and a young man were killed by Israeli occupation forces, Sunday evening, in the town of Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the town from its eastern entrance, and clashes erupted during which soldiers fired live bullets, leading to the martyrdom of the child Muhammad Rabi Jamal Hamarsheh (13 years old) and the young man Ahmad Mahmoud Zaid (20 years old).

According to medical sources and eyewitnesses, the occupation soldiers fired live bullets intensively and from a close range at the child Hamarsheh and the young man Zaid, which resulted in them being hit by several bullets, especially in the upper parts of their bodies.

The occupation prevented ambulances from reaching Hamarsheh and Zaid until they confirmed their martyrdom, adding that the bodies of the two victims were transferred to the Ya'bad Emergency Center.
