‘Left to bleed out’: Israeli forces kill two Palestinians in West Bank

 Israeli forces have shot dead two young Palestinians and injured two others as they continued their military incursions into the occupied West Bank.

Mustafa Sultan Abed, 22 and Ahmad Mohammad Shawahneh, 21, were shot dead near the Salem checkpoint in the city of Jenin, and ambulances were prevented from reaching the area to recover the bodies of the two slain youths, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Saturday.

“What we know is that they were left to bleed out for about an hour before ambulances were allowed to arrive and attend to them,” said Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi, reporting from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

“This is a violation of international law. Israeli soldiers are obligated by international law to give life-saving aid, even in an instance such as this.”

Two moderately wounded Palestinians were rushed to Jenin city, a Palestine Red Crescent Society medic was quoted as saying by Wafa.

Al Jazeera’s Basravi said across the occupied West Bank, there have been four raids on cities and seven on villages from Friday night, with a village west of Ramallah being the latest to be targeted, and an incursion into Tulkarem ending hours ago.

“We know that Israeli forces went in and took security cameras off the street in front of Palestinian homes that residents use to monitor the raids,” he said.

As the refugees – almost 60 per cent of whom were children – poured across the border from Myanmar into Bangladesh, they brought with them accounts of the unspeakable violence and brutality that had forced them to flee.   Those fleeing attacks and violence in the 2017 exodus joined around 300,000 people already in Bangladesh from previous waves of displacement, effectively forming the world’s largest refugee camp. Six years later, about half a million Rohingya refugee children are living in exile from their home country. M
