Odai Ibrahim Khamaisa

July 04, 2023: Odai Ibrahim Khamaisa, 22, was killed by Israeli soldiers in Jenin City, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, bringing the number of slain Palestinians in Jenin to ten on the second day of the Israeli offensive.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said that the soldiers killed Odai in the Haifa Street area in Jenin City.

The Palestinians retrieved his corpse after the Israeli military vehicles withdrew from that area and left his corpse on the side of the street.

Also, the soldiers fired many gas bombs at displaced Palestinian families sheltering in the yards of Khalil Suleiman governmental hospital in Jenin, causing many injuries.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the situation in Jenin refugee camp is very dire, especially since the Israeli army is preventing its ambiances from entering it and has constantly opened fire at medics and ambulances.
