Four From One Palestinian Family Killed by Israeli Fire in West Bank

Israel says troops fired after a car accelerated toward them in Tammun, with the incident under investigation.

Overview

  • The Palestinian Health Ministry said Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his wife Waad, 35, and their sons Othman, 7, and Mohammed, 5, were killed in Tammun and taken to Tubas hospital with gunshot wounds.
  • Israel’s military and police said troops opened fire after the family’s car accelerated toward forces during an operation pursuing suspects accused of “terrorist activity,” and said the shooting is under review.
  • The Palestine Red Crescent reported retrieving the four bodies from a shot-up vehicle, said two surviving children were wounded by shrapnel, and accused troops of delaying ambulance access.
  • Local officials reported a settler raid in Qusra that killed 28-year-old Amir Moatasem Odeh and another attack near Rashayda that injured five and saw more than 100 sheep seized, with the army noting a violent confrontation and detaining Israeli civilians.
  • Hospital authorities in Gaza said an Israeli strike on a home in Nuseirat killed at least four people, including a boy and his pregnant mother, as UN-tracked figures show sustained Palestinian casualties since 2023.
