Two brothers were killed by Israeli occupation forces in Nablus.

The Ministry of Health announced, on Tuesday evening, the martyrdom of brothers Nidal and Khaled Mahdi Ahmed Amira (40 and 35 years old) by Israeli occupation forces in Nablus.

The Ministry of Health stated in a brief statement that the General Authority for Civil Affairs had informed it of the martyrdom of the two Amira brothers, and that the occupation forces had detained their bodies.

The occupation forces fired live bullets at the two brothers, Amira, in the Old City of Nablus, during their ongoing raid on the town, and prevented ambulance crews from reaching them. Their deaths were later announced, and a number of citizens were injured by shrapnel from live bullets and suffocated from tear gas canisters fired by the occupation forces.

Israeli occupation forces have continued their raids into the Old City of Nablus since the early hours of this morning, raiding and searching several homes and shops, amid a widespread sniper presence on rooftops. A number of young men have also been arrested and detained.
