RAMALLAH/CAIRO, March 15 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian father, mother, and two of their children as they drove in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, Palestinian health authorities said, and the Israeli military said the incident was under review.
Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his 35-year-old wife Waad, and two of their children, Mohammad and Othman, aged 5 and 7 respectively, were each shot in the head in the village of Tammun, while two of their other children sustained injuries, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The Israeli military said in a statement that forces had operated in the village of Tammun to arrest Palestinians wanted for involvement in “terrorist” activity against security forces.
“During the operation, a vehicle accelerated toward the forces, who perceived an immediate threat to their safety and responded with gunfire. As a result, four Palestinians who were in the vehicle were killed,” the military said.
The circumstances of the incident are under review, it said.
