Shortly before, the Israeli army said it had carried out an operation and opened fire in that occupied West Bank town.
“During the operation in Tubas, several suspects threw Molotov cocktails and opened fire in the direction of the soldiers, who responded by opening fire,” the Israeli army said in a statement, adding that several people were “hit.”
In Tubas and in the neighboring town of Tamun, five people were arrested as “suspected of involvement and planning of terrorist attacks against innocent civilians”, according to the version of the Israeli army.
According to the mayor of Tubas, Hosam Daraghmeh, Salah Sawafta was leaving the mosque after morning prayers when he was shot by an Israeli soldier stationed in the area.
Salah Sawafta “didn’t have a stone or anything in his hands, and he didn’t know that the army was positioned” near where he was, the mayor told the AFP news agency.
Yesterday, another Palestinian, in this case 20 years old, died in Nablus, in the northern West Bank, after being shot in clashes with Israeli forces.
On the other hand, the Israeli Army yesterday searched and closed the offices of seven Palestinian NGOs linked to the defense of human rights and based in the part of the West Bank under Israeli military occupation, months after Israel declared them “terrorists”.
According to Israel, some of these organizations have links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a left-wing secular organization made up of a political party and an armed wing that carried out several deadly attacks against Israelis.
