A Palestinian man was killed Thursday after being shot by Israeli forces during a raid on the town of Sarta in the occupied West Bank, as his family said Israeli troops prevented paramedics from reaching him for nearly two hours after shooting him inside his home.
Israeli forces raided the town, west of Salfit, conducting house searches and arrest operations targeting several Palestinians, witnesses told Anadolu Agency.
During the raid, Israeli soldiers entered a home and opened fire at Mustafa Taha Khatib inside the house, critically wounding him, the witnesses said.
Khatib was transferred to Salfit Government Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Khatib’s uncle, Yassin Khatib, said the family awoke to find Israeli troops deployed across the town before they surrounded the house where Mustafa lived.
