Ramallah, November 4 (RHC)-- At least four Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military forces on Thursday, making it the deadliest day of violence in the West Bank and the Old City of al-Quds this week, as 2022 is on course to become the bloodiest year of aggression in the occupied territories in nearly two decades.

Two were killed and four others wounded during an Israeli military raid on a refugee camp in Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.   The ministry identified one of the victims as 28-year-old Farouq Jamil Salameh, who was shot in the abdomen, chest and head. He was officially pronounced dead shortly after he was transported to a hospital in Jenin in critical condition.

The second one was named as Mohammad Samer Khlouf, 14, from the town of Burqin, who died of wounds sustained during the assault.  Witnesses said a large number of Israeli military vehicles raided the camp in the afternoon, and surrounded a house where Salameh was.

An exchange of gunfire took place during which Salameh was fatally shot and four others, including an 8-year-old child, were slightly wounded.  Earlier in the day, Israeli military forces shot and killed a young Palestinian man in the occupied Old City of al-Quds over an alleged stabbing attack against the regime's soldiers.

The Israeli police alleged in a statement that officers spotted the man, identified as 20-year-old Bader Amer from the East al-Quds neighborhood of Beit Hanina, near the Iron Gate entrance to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and began to question him. 

The statement further claimed that the Palestinian man pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the officers in his upper body during the examination.

Another two Israeli officers opened fire at the man, and he was declared dead at the scene shortly thereafter.
