Israel continued its genocidal crackdown on Palestinians Sunday, killing at least eight people, including four children and a pregnant woman, in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.

The occupying forces killed a Palestinian father, mother, and two of their children as ⁠they drove in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health authorities said.

Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his 35-year-old wife Waad, and ​two of their children, Mohammad and Othman, aged 5 and ​7 respectively, ⁠were each shot in the head in the village of Tammun, while two of their other children sustained injuries, according to Palestinian health authorities.

The Israeli military said in a statement that forces had operated in the village of Tammun to arrest Palestinians wanted for alleged attacks against security forces.

"During the operation, a vehicle accelerated toward the forces, who perceived an immediate threat to their safety and responded with gunfire. As a result, four Palestinians who were in the vehicle were killed," the military claimed.
