'Settlers all over the West Bank see this war as a golden opportunity to torment Palestinians from small communities who are literally defenseless,' said one human rights campaigner.
An airstrike at Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Sunday represented what health officials called a 'dangerous escalation' of the Israeli military's attacks on the Palestinian territory, where civilians have been under assault since Israel began a sustained air campaign to retaliate for a surprise Hamas attack on October 7.
Among those killed over the weekend was 15-year-old Mohammad Qasem Mohammad Abu Zer, who was shot in the chest by a sniper in the village of Zawata. The boy joined other young people in throwing stones at Israeli military vehicles as the IDF entered their town and surrounded their neighbor's house.Two other young people who approached Abu Zer after the shooting—including his 18-year-old brother, Jamil, were also shot by Israeli snipers.
