00:00Wrapped in a Palestinian flag with his blue UN vest resting on top, the body of this UN
00:06RWA employee is carried by mourners through the refugee camp of Farah in the north of
00:12the West Bank. The UN Refugee Agency said Soufiane Jaber Abed-Jawad was killed by the
00:18Israeli forces during a raid. The Israeli military claims that he was throwing explosive
00:23devices at its troops. He is the first UN staff killed in the West Bank in more than
00:28a decade and his death has sparked concern as other refugees in the camp fear that they
00:33too could become a target.
00:38Every person in this camp is a target. This enemy does not differentiate between the young
00:44and the old, the elderly, women or children.
00:51In the nearby city of Tabas, Hamas flags flying, Palestinians carry the bodies of other people
00:57killed in this Israeli intervention.
01:03I woke up to the sound of an explosion. My brothers came and told me that my son had
01:08been martyred.
01:11Israeli forces said Friday they had pulled out of Tabas after concluding a 48-hour military
01:17intervention.
01:19The army has ramped up its offensive on the West Bank in recent weeks, carrying out its
01:23largest operations there in decades, according to the United Nations.
01:28Last week, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Galant said the military would use its full strength
01:34to strike targets in the West Bank. The Palestinian health officials say over 670 Palestinians
01:41have been killed on the territory since October 7.
