Palestinian Family Suffocates During Israeli Raid Near Salfit

Salfit: A family, including an infant, suffered from suffocation due to inhaling toxic gas fired by the Israeli occupation forces during their raid on the town of Deir Istiya, northwest of Salfit. The incident occurred when the army stormed the area adjacent to the town's entrance last night, leading to distressing consequences for local residents.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the mayor of Deir Istiya, Abdul Rahim Zidane, reported that the forces fired toxic gas bombs at citizens' homes. This resulted in a family, including a four-month-old infant, experiencing suffocation. Zidane highlighted that the occupation forces have been repeatedly targeting the town, continuing their attacks on citizens and their property.

Zidane further noted that the main entrance to the town has been closed by the occupation forces, severely restricting the movement of citizens. The repeated incursions and attacks have exacerbated the situation for the residents, leading to increased tension and hardship in the area.
