Shtayyeh: Israeli occupation soldiers continue to murder Palestinians for the sake of murder

OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, April.13, (ST)- The Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh condemned on Wednesday the killing of a lawyer in a military raid carried out by the Israeli occupation in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

 

Shtayyeh decried the killing of 34-year-old Mohammad Hassan Assaf, an attorney with the Wall and Settlements Resistance Commission, after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the chest, describing it as a crime.

 

According to WAFA News Agency, Israeli occupation forces killed Assaf, a father of three, and injured 31 others in Nablus and the nearby towns of Beita, al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, and Urif, south of Nablus, including 10 people by live fire, six by rubber-coated bullets and 13 by tear gas.

 

Shtayyeh said that the Israeli occupation soldiers continue to murder Palestinians for the sake of murder, particularly since they are given a license to kill by Israeli Premier Naftali Bennett with a total disregard for international laws and conventions.

 

He held the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the daily crimes against the Palestinian people.
