A Palestinian man, his wife, and their two children were killed at dawn on Sunday after being shot by Israeli forces in the town of Tammun, south of Tubas, while two of their other children were injured by bullet shrapnel.
Local sources reported that special units from the Israeli Defense Forces infiltrated the town, followed by military reinforcements arriving from the Ein Shibli checkpoint and Tayasir checkpoint. The sources said Israeli forces opened fire on a vehicle, resulting in the deaths of Ali Khaled Sayel Bani Odeh (37), his wife Waad Othman Aql Bani Odeh (35), and their two children, Mohammad (5) and Othman (7).
Their two other children, Mustafa (8) and Khaled (11), sustained minor injuries to the head and face from bullet fragments.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said Israeli forces initially prevented its medical teams from reaching the injured inside the vehicle and forced them to leave the area. The organization later announced that its crews were able to retrieve four bodies from the vehicle—a man, a woman, and two children—along with two children who had been wounded by bullet fragments.
In a separate development, the sources added that Israeli forces arrested Mahmoud Hassan Bani Odeh and his son Hassan (19) after raiding their home in the town. They also detained a 15-year-old boy, Yaman Hossam Bani Odeh.
