Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian couple, Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, and his wife Waad, 35, along with their two children, Mohammad, 5, and Othman, 7, in the West Bank village of Tammun. The incident occurred while the family was driving, and the Israeli military claims the vehicle accelerated towards their forces, prompting them to open fire. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that the victims had gunshot wounds to the head, and two other children in the family were injured. The Israeli military has launched an investigation into the incident.
The killing is part of a rising trend of violence in the West Bank, with at least five Palestinians killed by Israeli settlers since the start of the Iran war on February 28. The Palestinian Red Crescent has accused Israeli forces of delaying ambulances, exacerbating the situation. The international community is calling for an end to the violence and protection of civilians.
