NABLUS, (PIC)-- Two little girls were killed Wednesday evening when the vehicle they were riding along with their father and brother was deliberately hit by an Israeli armored jeep in the Jordan Valley area in the West Bank.
Palestinian medical sources said that Jannah, eight years, and Massa, 10, died while their father Imad Faqha and their 11-year-old brother Hussein sustained serious injuries after Israeli soldiers crashed their armored vehicle into the tractor the victims were on board.
Eyewitness reported that the Palestinian family was returning from their agricultural field when Israeli soldiers accelerated their car into the tractor.
For his part, Dr. Ahmed Bahar, the first deputy speaker of the Palestinian legislative council (PLC), strongly denounced the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) for attacking the agricultural tractor in the Jordan Valley and killing the two girls.
In a press release on Wednesday, Dr. Bahar said that what happened was a deliberate crime perpetrated for racist purposes and malicious Zionist intents that do not understand the meaning of humanity or life.
The deputy speaker also deplored the IOF troops for attacking a peaceful march east of Gaza city and killing a teenager participating in the march.
The lawmaker appealed to the international community to necessarily intervene to protect the Palestinian people from the ongoing carnage perpetrated daily by Israel, noting that the current Palestinian situation has turned into hell because of Israel’s relentless violations.

GAZA , (PIC)-- A Palestinian teenager succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday afternoon at Shifa hospital in Gaza after being wounded by IOF troops while participating in a peaceful demonstration near Nahal Oz crossing.
Dr. Muaweyah Hasaneen, director of ambulance and emergency services at the ministry of health, told PIC correspondent that Sulaiman Deeb, 19 years, was martyred after being seriously wounded during a peaceful demonstration against a security zone imposed by the Israeli occupation around the strip. Deeb was taken to Shifa hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.
IOF troops have confronted the Gaza demonstrations against the security zone by firing live bullets at them wounding a number of demonstrators including some foreign sympathisers.
The security zone is 300 meters deep into the Gaza Strip and eats up about 20% of the area of the Gaza Strip, mostly agricultural land, the owners of which are denied utilising it.
People whose houses lie inside this zone live a daily risk of being shot and their homes are often the target of IOF troops' fire.
