West Bank: Two Palestinians killed and 16 injured after Israeli attack on Nablus
At least 16 Palestinians have been injured and two killed after the Israeli military continued a large-scale attack on Nablus in the West Bank, according to AFP on Tuesday.
Both Nidal Amira, 40, and Khaled Amira, 35, were reportedly killed in the attacks.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that at least three people sustained injuries from bullets, four from physical assault, and dozens more from tear gas inhalation.
Ambulance crews were prevented from reaching the injured, according to the PRCS.
This is the third year in a row that a large-scale operation targeting people in the old city has taken place.
Almost 1,000 people have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023.

Palestinian fighters carry out second ambush of Israeli soldiers this week
The Quds Brigades, working alongside the Qassam Brigades, said on Friday that they ambushed a group of Israeli soldiers using heavy mortar shells near the Halima Mosque, south of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The Quds Brigades is the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Qassam is the military wing of Hamas. There is no known casualty figure, and the Israeli military has not so far confirmed any losses. This appears to be the second major ambush in a week. A previous attack on two Israeli armoured vehicles killed seven soldiers and wounded some 15 others in Khan Younis. The attack was filmed and shared online by the Qassam Brigades.
