A Palestinian man was martyred on Saturday morning after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that Nour Al-Din Fayad, 34, was martyred by Israeli gunfire during an Israeli military raid on the camp.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its teams in Jenin received the body of a young man who died after sustaining a live gunshot wound to the thigh and transferred him to hospital.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the incident, according to the Palestinian News Agency.
Since 21 January 2025, Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out large-scale military operations in the northern occupied West Bank, particularly in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps, under an operation named “Iron Wall.”
According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the operation has displaced nearly 40,000 Palestinians.
Daily violence continues in the West Bank, which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967. Since the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023, at least 1,072 Palestinians, including children and armed individuals, have been martyred by Israeli soldiers or settlers, according to reported figures.
