Israeli forces assassinate young Arab man near Tel Aviv

Israeli occupation forces have murdered a young Arab man from the city of Kafr Qassem as unchecked crimes against Palestinians rage on in the deadliest year in the Occupied Territories since 2005.

According to Press TV, Mahmoud Naim Badir, 23, was martyred as the Israeli forces claimed he was carrying out an alleged shooting and ramming attack, injuring two occupation forces.

The Israeli forces said the suspect phoned in a false report of a violent incident in Kafr Qassem – northeast of the city of Tel Aviv in the occupied territories - to draw first responders and then opened fire when they arrived.

However, the family of the slain Palestinian man said "the Israeli forces martyred our son Naim Badir in cold blood, and the Israeli story on our son carrying out an attack on Israeli forces is a false claim.”

Naim’s family went on to say that "the police, after murdering our son, stormed the house and destroyed it completely in front of children, who screamed, cried, and were terrified by the Israeli violent behavior."

Earlier in November, Israeli forces shot and martyred a young Palestinian man in Ariel settlement in the West Bank city of Salfit.

Israeli occupation forces and settlers have been escalating their attacks against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and other occupied areas, in an attempt to forcibly expel Palestinians from their lands and make way for expanding illegal Israeli settlements.

Since the start of 2022, Israeli troops have martyred more than 220 Palestinians, including more than 50 children, in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds as well as in the besieged Gaza Strip.
