Jerusalem.- According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israeli forces fired upon a vehicle in the Tamun region, in northern West Bank, resulting in the deaths of four family members, including a father, a mother, and their two children. The victims are Ali Bani Odeh, the 37-year-old father, Waad Bani Odeh, the 35-year-old mother, and their children Mohamed Bani Odeh, aged five, and Ozman Bani Odeh, aged seven. According to the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, two other children, Mustafa and Khaled, aged eight and ten, who were not in the vehicle, managed to survive. According to local sources, the agency reported that «the special forces of the occupation army (of Israel)» are responsible for the attack, suggesting that the killings were part of an operation. When asked by EFE, the Israeli Army referred the question to the Police. When contacting this body, EFE did not receive a response. Around 2:00 AM local time, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the Israeli Army was blocking their ambulances’ access to the area of the attack. Shortly thereafter, it indicated that soldiers allowed them to meet with the two surviving children and receive the bodies of the deceased.
