Israeli forces killed Palestinian family of four in occupied West Bank
Israeli forces shot and killed Ali and Waed Bani Odeh and two of their children, Mohammed (5) and Othman (7), in their car in Tammun, occupied West Bank, on Saturday night. The family had been shopping for Eid clothes in Nablus when Israeli forces opened fire on their vehicle. Israel says forces fired after the car accelerated toward them during an operation pursuing suspects of terrorist activity.
