The 36-year-old Palestinian teacher was killed as he walked home to his wife after spending the morning tending to his sheep and vegetables at his farm
The Israeli military on Friday raided a Palestinian town in the northern West Bank, besieging an apartment and sparking a gunfight with local militants that killed an apparently uninvolved Palestinian teacher, Palestinian health officials and the man’s family said.
When the gunmen refused, the Israeli military launched soldier-fired missiles and grenades at the building to try to force them out. Videos showed giant plumes of smoke billowing from the apartment. The 36-year-old Palestinian teacher, Abdulrahim Ghannam, was killed during the firefight as he walked home to his wife after spending the early morning tending to his sheep and vegetables at his farm, his 33-year-old cousin Islam said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry blamed Israel for his death, saying that an Israeli army bullet struck Ghannam in the head. The Israeli army said early Friday that it also raided several other towns in the West Bank and the city of Nablus, arresting seven suspected militants.
