2025-07-07
[IsraelTimes] The Palestinian Authority health ministry says that two men were shot dead by Israeli forces near the city of Nablus, in the West Bank, earlier today.

Qusai Nasser Mahmud Nassar, 23, and Wissam Ghassan Hassan Shtayyeh, 37, “were shot and killed by the occupation forces on Sunday afternoon in the village of Salem, east of Nablus,” the ministry says in a statement.

According to WAFA, the PA’s official news agency, a 62-year-old man was also injured by the gunfire and was evacuated for medical treatment by the Palestinian Red Crescent.

It says that the Palestinian Red Crescent received Nassar’s body after the incident, but that the IDF has not yet handed over the body of Shtayyeh.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
