The latest Israeli atrocity took place on Saturday morning as two Palestinians, identified as Samer Salah Shafiee and Hamza Jamil Kharyoush, were fatally shot by the Israeli occupation forces during a raid on Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm City.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the two 22-year-olds were brought dead to a hospital in Tulkarm due to gunshot wounds to the neck and chest, adding that a third was brought with injuries in the limbs and is in stable condition.

“The Israeli occupation, with its Nazi policy, insists on inflaming tensions in the occupied territories through persisting in its aggression against the Palestinian citizens, their lands and holy sites,” Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem stated.

“We will continue the battle to defend the sanctities and fight for the freedom of our people,” he added.

Stressing that the new Israeli crime in Nur Shams refugee camp “will never go unanswered,” Qassem said such atrocities by the illegal entity in the West Bank would not succeed in stopping the Palestinian people’s “growing revolutionary tide,” but rather would fuel the flames of revolution.

The Hamas spokesman also pointed out that the Zionist regime is escalating its terror against Palestinian people, by repeating its aggression with assassinations of young men in the occupied West Bank.

In another statement, Islamic Jihad spokesman Tariq Salmi denounced the latest Israeli atrocity in Tulkarm and said the occupying regime was “fully responsible” for the killing of the two Palestinian youths.

“The Palestinian people will continue to make great sacrifices in defense of their land and sanctities, and these sacrifices increase our strength and determination to confront the occupation,” Salmi said in the statement.

“We hold the Zionist occupation fully responsible for the crime in Tulkarm, and we affirm that the response of the resistance and the Palestinian people to this crime and others will come,” he added.

The Islamic Jihad spokesman stressed that the resistance would remain loyal to all the pure blood that is shed on the land of Palestine as a result of the Zionist aggression, and that this loyalty will be translated by the resistance into a response to the crimes, aggression and terror of the occupation.

Over the past months, Israel has ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and cities throughout the occupied territories. As a result of these attacks, dozens of Palestinians have lost their lives and many others have been arrested.

Most of the raids have focused on the West Bank cities of Nablus and Jenin, where Israeli forces have been trying to stifle a growing Palestinian resistance against occupation.

With the latest killings, the Israeli forces have shot and killed 108 Palestinians since the start of the year, including 20 minors and two women, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Nabil Abu Rudainah, a spokesman for the PA’s President Mahmoud Abbas, issued the warning on Friday after the regime’s forces gunned down four Palestinians, including a woman, during two separate bouts of aggression in Tel Aviv-occupied West Bank on Thursday.

“Continuation of [the regime’s] raids on Palestinian cities and [its] daily atrocities against the Palestinian nation…would lead the situation in the region to explode and reach an uncontrollable stage,” the PA official said.

Abu Rudainah considered the occupying regime to be fully responsible for the intensification of violence against the Palestinians, urging the United States — Tel Aviv’s biggest and most dedicated ally — to step in to immediately stop the regime’s aggression.

Earlier in the day, the regime’s forces staged a raid against the city of Nablus in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, killing three members of the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas.

Eyewitnesses stated that Israeli forces stormed the al-Yasmina neighborhood of Nablus Old City and opened fire at a Palestinian house.

The occupation troops used Energa anti-tank rifle grenades during their raid and prevented medical staff from approaching the area.

The Israeli army claimed that the victims had been responsible for a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley last month, which killed three Israeli settlers.

In another brutal attack on Thursday, Israeli forces fatally shot a Palestinian woman over an alleged stabbing attack in the town of Huwara near Nablus.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said the woman, identified as Eman Odeh, was taken to the Rafidia hospital in critical condition. Later reports said she succumbed to her wounds.
