Qalandiya refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, witnessed a deadly day on Friday, as two Palestinians were killed amid intensified raids by ‘Israeli’ forces targeting civilians following funeral ceremonies.

Details of the killings:

Sufyan Abu Leil: The 46-year-old Sufyan Ahmad Saleh Abu Leil succumbed to a severe head injury after troops opened heavy fire toward residents leaving the camp cemetery. Another young man was also injured in the incident.

Mustafa Hamad: Earlier on Friday, Mustafa Hamad was shot dead at the camp’s entrance. His funeral preceded further attacks on mourners by the 'Israeli' forces.

Ongoing escalation:

  • Home raid: ‘Israeli’ forces raided Mustafa Hamad’s home following his funeral.
  • Sniper deployment: Snipers were stationed on rooftops overlooking the camp entrance, raising the risk of additional civilian casualties.

The developments in Qalandiya add to the mounting tension in the region, coinciding with broader regional instability and ongoing threats among conflict parties.
