During an Israeli military raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the West Bank, an 8-month pregnant Palestinian woman, was killed by Israeli forces. This incident, along with the death of another Palestinian woman in a separate incident, has sparked outrage and calls for international intervention.
The call came in the middle of the night, Mohammed Shula said. His daughter-in-law, eight months pregnant with her first child, was whispering. There was panic in her voice.Shalabi and her husband, 26-year-old Yazan Shula, had fled their home in the early hours of Sunday as Israeli security forces closed in on Nur Shams refugee camp, a crowded urban district in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem.
Across the West Bank and east Jerusalem, at least 905 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack triggered the war in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Many appear to have been militants killed in gunbattles during Israeli raids. But rock-throwing protesters and uninvolved civilians — including a 2-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and 73-year-old man — have also been killed in recent weeks.
His son “was worried about all the time. He knew that she wouldn’t be able to deliver the baby if the siege got worse,” he said. Not long after the three of them drove off, there was a burst of gunfire. Mohammed Shula's phone rang. “We couldn't go outside because we were afraid we'd be shot," said Suleiman Zuheiri, 65, a neighbor of the Shula family who was helping the medics reach their bodies. “We tried and tried. All in vain. kept getting turned back, and the girl kept bleeding."
Yazan Shula was unconscious and in critical condition, and, as of Tuesday, remains on life support at a hospital. Shalabi was found dead. Her fetus also did not survive the shooting.
