Israeli police in the occupied West Bank killed a Palestinian couple and their two young sons, ages five and seven, near their hometown of Tamoun on Saturday. The family was returning from a Ramadan shopping trip when Israeli forces opened fire on their vehicle. The victims, Ali Bani Odeh, 37, Waad Bani Odeh, 35, Mohammed, 5, and Othman, 7, all sustained fatal head and face wounds. The incident occurred amidst a surge of Israeli violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, including settler attacks that have resulted in multiple deaths and injuries in recent weeks. An 11-year-old son who survived the attack reported being taunted and assaulted by Israeli forces at the scene. The Israeli forces involved were reportedly an undercover unit driving a car with Palestinian license plates.
