A Child killed by occupation forces' bullets during a wide-scale raid on Hebron city

Medical sources in Hebron city announced on Wednesday evening the martyrdom of 15-year-old child Ibrahim Abdelfattah Al-Khayyat, who succumbed to severe injuries sustained from occupation forces' bullets. The child was rushed to the hospital after being targeted with live ammunition in the abdomen during a military raid on the city, but medical efforts failed to save his life due to the severity of the injury.

The 'Al-Hawouz' area in Hebron witnessed a wide-scale incursion by occupation military vehicles, where forces imposed a strict security cordon and closed main roads to vehicle and civilian traffic. This raid coincided with assaults on the commercial sector, as soldiers forced shop owners to close their doors at gunpoint, leading to a complete paralysis in the targeted area.

Field sources reported that confrontations erupted after occupation forces heavily fired live ammunition and toxic gas bombs at citizens and their homes. These assaults resulted in two other young men being injured by live bullets in their lower extremities, specifically in the thigh and knee areas, and they were transported for treatment amidst a state of extreme tension that prevailed in the city's neighborhoods.

The occupation's operations were not limited to field suppression but also extended to raiding civil institutions, where soldiers stormed the headquarters of the 'Charitable Society' and wreaked havoc and destruction. Occupation soldiers meticulously searched the contents of the headquarters and tampered with files and furniture, in a move aimed at restricting institutional and social work in the besieged city.

In a related context, occupation forces arrested a Palestinian citizen whose identity is not yet known, after forcing him to stop and dismount from his truck he was driving in the area. Soldiers took the detainee to an unknown location, while forces continue to reinforce their military presence in various neighborhoods of Hebron, amidst fears of an escalation in the pace of raids and arrests in the coming hours.
