Amro’s father, Yousef, said Israeli occupation forces raided his house and fired live bullets inside it, seriously wounding his son Sari.
He said the soldiers prevented anyone from approaching him and providing treatment to him before they arrested him while he was still bleeding. Then, they took him and Suhaib to an unknown destination.
Amro’s father added that the occupation forces seized two vehicles, destroyed the contents of the house and other vehicles, and stole 400,000 shekels (around $100,000) in cash and checks.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 273 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 7 and 451 since the beginning of the year.
