Israeli forces have killed two Palestinian teenagers in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Kafr Aqab, according to the Wafa news agency.
The report said Palestinian Red Crescent Society crews treated two serious injuries from live ammunition during the forces’ raid on Kafr Aqab, and they were transferred to the hospital.
Later, the Ministry of Health announced the two teenagers, Amr Khaled Ahmed Al-Marbou, 18, and Sami Ibrahim Sami Mashayekh, 16, had died of their injuries.
The Israeli forces had stormed Kafr Aqab, deployed their foot patrols in its streets, and their snipers climbed onto the roofs of several buildings and opened fire on the young men in the town, which led to the killings, Wafa said.
A recap of recent developments
- Hamas accused Israel of shifting the so-called yellow line truce demarcation in Gaza – forcing a new wave of displacement – in a “flagrant” breach of the ceasefire.
- The UN Secretary General’s spokesperson Stephane Dujarric expressed concern over the “fragility of the ceasefire” and said the killing of Palestinians in Gaza “needs to stop”.
- A Human Rights Watch report said the Israeli military’s displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned that winter rains are worsening already dire living conditions for displaced families across Gaza, many of whom lack basic protection from the cold.
