Palestinian youth killed by occupation bullets in Qalandia camp north of Jerusalem

Large forces of the Israeli occupation army stormed Qalandia camp north of occupied Jerusalem in the early morning hours of Monday, leading to violent confrontations and armed clashes in the camp's alleys. Military operations focused on the Institute Street area, where snipers and infantry soldiers were deployed amidst heavy live fire and sound grenades directed at citizens and their homes.

Field sources reported that a Palestinian youth engaged in a clash with the invading force before being seriously wounded as a result of being directly targeted by live bullets from occupation soldiers. A state of extreme tension prevailed throughout the camp with the continued Israeli military reinforcements that closed the main entrances and completely prevented movement.

In a blatant violation of international norms, occupation vehicles surrounded the site where the young man was injured and prevented ambulance crews and paramedics from approaching to provide him with the necessary first aid. Ambulance vehicles were also subjected to direct gunfire from soldiers to obstruct their arrival, which led to the injured person bleeding for a long time at the scene without any medical intervention.

Medical sources later announced the martyrdom of the young man due to his serious injuries and severe bleeding that continued throughout the period when medical teams were prevented from reaching him. This crime comes in the context of the ongoing escalation witnessed in the areas of Jerusalem and the West Bank, where the occupation continues its policy of bloody incursions and tightening restrictions on the Palestinian population.

Occupation forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching the injured, targeting medical vehicles with gunfire to obstruct their humanitarian missions.
