NABLUS, West Bank (AP) — One Palestinian man was killed and four others seriously wounded during an Israeli military raid in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Sunday, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the man’s wife was in labor at a local hospital when she was informed of his death.
The Red Crescent said five people were hit by gunfire during an Israeli military operation. Nayef Firas Ziad Samaro, 26, was killed, according to the Health Ministry, and his body was brought to the hospital where his wife was giving birth. Additionally, a 12-year-old was shot in the shoulder, according to the Red Crescent.
The raid took place as schools were letting out for the day, in an area crowded with civilians, witnesses said.
Israel's military in a statement said it responded to a confrontation in the Nablus area in which several “terrorists†threw rocks toward soldiers. Soldiers fired and “several hits were identified.â€
