Zionist media outlets reported that one settler was killed and at least six others were injured on Saturday following a shooting operation carried out across multiple locations inside the occupied ’48 territories, in the area near Qalqilya.
According to initial reports, the operation unfolded across several towns and junctions, triggering a widespread security response and the deployment of zionist police forces to the scene.
Later, the zionist army announced that one soldier was killed and another was seriously wounded in the shooting.
The slain soldier was identified as Master Sergeant (res.) Haim Kalomiti, of Battalion 8881 of the Ephraim Brigade.
Multi-location shooting near Qalqilya and surrounding towns
Zionist media reported that the shooting took place across four separate locations, including Kochav Ya’ir, Tzur Yitzhak, Tzur Natan, and Sla’it, all situated north of the occupied West Bank.
The affected areas lie in proximity to Qalqilya, within what zionist authorities classify as inside the “Green Line,” though geographically close to Palestinian population centers in the northern West Bank.
Reports indicated that the shooters opened fire in rapid succession across multiple sites, causing panic and confusion among settlers in the area.
According to zionist sources, the operation resulted in one fatality and six injuries among the illegal settlers, with some of the wounded reported to be in serious condition.
Occupation police response and suspect status
Zionist police stated that one person was killed at the scene, while a second individual was detained in connection with the shooting.
Security forces launched a large-scale search operation across surrounding areas following the incident, with roadblocks and patrols deployed to prevent further movement.
Zionist Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir issued a sharply worded statement in response to the incident, calling for the execution of any person involved if captured alive.
“If he is captured alive, he will be executed. This is the law, and we will demand its implementation. Whoever kills a Jew will be hanged,” Ben-Gvir said, according to Israeli media reports.
Op. reflects continued resistance of Palestinians: Abu Obeida
The entire Al-Qassam statement reads:
We bless the heroic operation in the “Kochav Yair” settlement, which was carried out by one of our people’s fighters from the occupied interior, and the car-ramming operation last night, which came as an act of self-defense and in response to the aggression of the occupation and its settlers.
We look with pride at our people’s confrontation against the herds of occupying settlers in various areas of the occupied West Bank, and we call on our youth in Al-Quds, the West Bank, and the interior to take their role in the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, and to escalate their operations to make the zionists pay the price for their crimes.
