Israeli occupation forces kill Palestinian family of four in Tammun

TUBAS, March 15 (YPA) – A Palestinian man, his wife, and their two children were killed after midnight by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Tammun, south of Tubas, while their two other children were injured by shrapnel.

Palestinian sources reported that Israeli special forces infiltrated the town, followed by military reinforcements arriving from the Ein Shibli checkpoint and the Tayasir checkpoint.

Forces opened fire on a vehicle, killing Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his wife Waad Othman Bani Odeh, 35, and their two children, Mohammed, 5, and Othman, 7. Their other two children, Mustafa, 8, and Khaled, 11, sustained minor shrapnel injuries to the head and face.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said the occupation forces prevented its crews from reaching the injured inside the vehicle and forced them to leave the area before later allowing them to retrieve the four bodies — a man, a woman, and two children — along with the two injured children.

In a separate incident, Israeli occupation forces also arrested Mahmoud Hassan Bani Odeh and his son Hassan, 19, after raiding their home in Tammun. They also detained the child Yaman Hossam Bani Odeh, 15.
