A Palestinian was martyred by Israeli occupation forces during a raid on the Um Al-Sharayet area in the city of Al-Bireh on Tuesday, raising the number of Palestinian martyrs killed by the occupation in the occupied West Bank to over 100 since the beginning of the current year, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health (WAFA).
The ministry said that Ziad Muhammad Jaber (54 years old) was martyred due to injuries sustained from Israeli occupation forces during their raid on the Um Al-Sharayet area early Tuesday.
It reported that the occupation forces fired live ammunition during the raid, resulting in Jaber being seriously injured, before his martyrdom was later announced.
The occupied West Bank is witnessing a continuous escalation with ongoing raids, attacks, and shootings targeting Palestinians.
