Zionists kill 4 Palestinians

JENIN: Zionist forces killed four Palestinians Thursday, medics and security officials said, as violence flared across Zionist-annexed east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Two Palestinians were shot dead by Zionist forces in the northern West Bank city of Jenin – named as 14-year-old Mohammed Samer Khalouf and 28-year-old Farouq Salameh – while four others suffered gunshot wounds, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Hours earlier, a Palestinian was shot dead in Jerusalem’s Old City. Mourners meanwhile gathered in the West Bank village of Beit Duqqu for the funeral of a 42-year-old man, killed in clashes with Zionist forces. At least 34 Palestinians and three Zionists have been killed across east Jerusalem and the West Bank since the start of October, according to an AFP tally.

Early on Thursday, the Zionist military said it had lifted a weekslong closure of the West Bank city of Nablus, which had disrupted travel in and out of the city for more than 200,000 Palestinians. Just hours after the closure was lifted, Palestinian prime minister Mohammed Shtayyeh led a high profile delegation of some 30 foreign diplomats – including the European Union and United States envoys – and Palestinian officials on a march through the Nablus’ Old City. He said that the three-week “siege” had been a form of “collective punishment”. – AFP
