April 24, 2023: Suleiman Ayesh Hussin Oweid, 20, was killed by Israeli soldiers who invaded the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp in Jericho city in the northeastern West Bank.

Medical sources said the soldiers killed Suleiman, injured three other young men, and abduct three, including two siblings.

Jihad Abu Al-Asal, the governor of Jericho and the Northern Plains, said the soldiers fatally shot Suleiman Ayesh Hussin Oweid, 20, and took his corpse away.

Abu Al-Asal added that Civil Affairs Committee confirmed the young man’s death and added that the soldiers also injured three Palestinians, including two with live fire, and abducted one of them, Ali Othman Habash.

One of the wounded Palestinians, Suleiman Khalaf Awajna, suffered moderate wounds after the soldiers rammed him with their jeep, before Palestinian medics rushed him to a hospital in Jericho.

The Israeli army said it invaded the refugee camp to attest “wanted Palestinians,” adding that the soldiers saw two Palestinians trying to escape and shot them.

Also, the soldiers invaded many parts of the occupied West Bank, stormed and ransacked dozens of homes, and abducted at least sixteen Palestinians.
