IDF Shoots and Kills Three Palestinians in West Bank on Palestine Land Day

Israeli forces killed three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on March 30 — the 50th anniversary of Palestine Land Day. Near Hebron, IDF soldiers fatally shot Ramzi Abdul Hakim Mohammed Al-Awawdeh, 22; Palestinian witnesses and medics said Israeli soldiers prevented emergency medical personnel from reaching him. Near Tulkarm, soldiers shot a Palestinian man after he allegedly drove his vehicle toward troops; the man was pronounced dead. In a third incident, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed during a military raid on Dheisheh refugee camp near Bethlehem, which the Israeli military said followed a 'violent riot' involving stone-throwing. The three killings brought the total West Bank Palestinian death toll since October 7, 2023 to at least 1,136. Land Day — marking the 1976 Israeli confiscation of Palestinian land and the killing of six Arab citizens of Israel during protests — was observed across Palestinian communities amid heightened IDF presence.
