Israeli forces martyr Palestinian man behind alleged car-ramming

Israeli regime forces fatally shot a Palestinian man on Friday afternoon as Israeli media allege he carried out a car-ramming in the occupied territories that killed at least two settlers.

According to reports, the two Israeli settlers have been pronounced dead and five others were injured in the incident at a bus stop in the Ramot Alon settlement north of al-Quds.

Palestinian media outlets have identified the Palestinian as Hussain Karaka, a 31-year-old resident of Bethlehem’s Dheisha refugee camp.

The suspected car-ramming comes amid increased Israeli violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories, especially in the West Bank.

In January alone, the Israeli occupation forces martyred 35 Palestinians, including 8 children, while 224 Palestinians, including 61 children, were martyred in 2022.

On January 27, seven illegal settlers were killed and 10 others wounded in a shooting operation in occupied al-Quds which came a day after Israeli forces raided the city of Jenin and its neighboring refugee camp in the north of the occupied West Bank, martyring nine Palestinians in one of the deadliest raids in years.
