Ramallah, May 17 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers raided the Palestinian town of Tamoun on Thursday, killing five men after laying siege to a home in the village center. One of the men apparently burned to death, according to Tamoun’s mayor.
The deadly raid came after a pregnant Israeli woman from a nearby settlement was shot and killed. In response, Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for nearby Palestinian towns to be “flattened” -- just as Israel has destroyed cities in the Gaza Strip.
