Palestinian fighter succumbs to grave injuries suffered in Israeli strike on Tubas
A Palestinian resistance fighter has succumbed to grave injuries he sustained more than a week ago as a result of an Israeli airstrike against his vehicle in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that 27-year-old Saif Mithqal Abu Dawas was critically injured on September 5, when his car came under an aerial attack in the city of Tubas. Five young men were killed in the attack.
Abu Dawas was transferred to Ibn Sina Hospital in the city of Jenin to receive treatment and was pronounced dead in the early hours of Monday.
Local sources said he was one of the commanders of the Tubas resistance brigade, and was wanted by Israeli authorities for organizing attacks against the occupying regime.
The Factions Coordination Committee in Tubas announced a day of mourning and a general strike on Monday in homage to Abu Dawas.
Israeli military’s offensives in the West Bank are mostly concentrated in the territory’s northern governorates of Tulkarm, Tubas and Jenin, and have displaced hundreds of people and inflicted widespread damage to roads, water and sewerage networks, according to the United Nations.
In the Jenin governorate, from where Israeli forces withdrew after a 10-day operation that saw the use of “lethal, war-like tactics”, at least 21 Palestinians have been killed and dozens more wounded, according to WAFA and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
In its latest update on the situation in the West Bank, OCHA said the Israeli raid in Jenin displaced 1,000 families. Most of them have returned to their homes, but at least 297 people, including 102 children, remain displaced after Israeli forces rendered their homes inhabitable.
Tensions have intensified throughout the occupied West Bank as Israel persists in its bloody war on the Gaza Strip.
At least 704 people, including 159 children, have since been killed and more than 5,700 injured in Israeli raids and settler attacks across the occupied West Bank since the war on Gaza began.
Since October 7, at least 41,226 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have also been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip during the regime’s genocidal war.
