Nablus – Saba:
Two Palestinian brothers were martyred Tuesday evening by Israeli enemy forces during their raid on the Old City of Nablus, Palestine. The Israeli enemy army admitted four soldiers were wounded.
The official Palestinian News Agency reported that the brothers, Nidal and Khaled Mahdi Ahmed Amira (40 and 35 years old), were killed by Israeli forces in Nablus, and their bodies were seized by the Israeli forces.
The agency reported that Israeli enemy forces fired live ammunition at the Amira brothers in the Old City of Nablus during their ongoing raid on the town, preventing ambulance crews from reaching them. Their deaths were later announced. A number of civilians were also injured by shrapnel from live bullets and suffocation from tear gas canisters fired by Israeli forces.
Israeli enemy forces have continued their raids into the Old City of Nablus since dawn on Tuesday, raiding and searching several homes and shops amid a widespread sniper presence on rooftops. A number of young men were also arrested and detained.
In addition, the Israeli enemy army acknowledged Tuesday evening that four of its soldiers were injured when two Palestinian youths allegedly attempted to seize a soldier's weapon in Nablus.
Israeli enemy army radio reported that "two Palestinians attempted to seize a soldier's weapon during a search, resulting in one soldier being moderately wounded, three others being lightly wounded, and the two Palestinians being killed."
In a related development, 80 Palestinians were injured, including some suffering from suffocation, during the Israeli forces' raid into Nablus, which has been ongoing since this morning, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Five young men were injured Tuesday evening after being severely beaten by Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli enemy army dispatched additional military reinforcements to its forces advancing into Nablus.
The Old City of Nablus is witnessing a military escalation by enemy forces, storming several areas amid violent clashes. Meanwhile, military operations continue, seizing control of homes and converting them into military barracks.
