Pregnant Palestinian Woman Killed During Israeli Raid in West Bank

Israeli forces targeted Nur Shams refugee camp, killing an eight-month-pregnant woman and critically injuring her husband, as tensions escalate in the occupied West Bank.

• Israeli forces conducted a pre-dawn raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, targeting what they described as 'terrorists' and 'disruptive activities.'
• Sundus Jamal Muhammad Shalabi, a 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant, was killed, and her husband, Yazan Abu Shola, was critically injured during the operation.
• Palestinian health officials reported that medical teams were unable to save Shalabi’s fetus, alleging that Israeli forces blocked emergency medical access to the injured couple.
• The raid is part of an expanded Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank, which has intensified since the Gaza conflict in late 2023 and has displaced thousands of Palestinians.
• The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned the incident as a deliberate targeting of civilians, while the Israeli military stated it is investigating the claims.
