Occupied West Bank (QNN)- Israeli soldiers beat a 68-year-old Palestinian woman to death during a raid on her home in the town of Jayyous, in the northern occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

According to local sources and her husband, Walid Shamasneh, the soldiers stormed the house of Sabriya Shamasneh in the early hours of Tuesday morning, conducting an aggressive search and interrogating the family.

The husband said that shortly before the raid, his daughter-in-law had approached him in fear, believing there were “thieves” outside. She reported hearing unusual noises and noticed that the front garden gate had been forced open.

Israeli forces then broke down the front door, terrifying the family.

“The Israeli officer began asking me for the names of people I did not know. Then they forced us all into a corner of the room while they searched the other bedrooms,” Walid said.

At one point, Sabriya attempted to move and called out to her son Hassan, fearing he had been arrested. The soldiers responded by shoving her violently with their rifles, knocking her to the ground and shouting at her to be quiet.

The elderly woman’s head struck the wall, causing her to lose consciousness. Her husband panicked, shouting and pleading with the soldiers to help, but they refused.

After the soldiers left, Sabriya’s husband and son rushed her to Darwish Nazzal Governmental Hospital in Qalqilya. A heavy presence of Israeli military vehicles had prevented an ambulance from reaching the scene.

At the hospital, Sabriya was pronounced dead from the injuries she sustained during the raid.

Israeli forces routinely raid Palestinian towns and homes in the occupied West Bank, a practice that has intensified sharply since October 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza. Between January and September 2025, nearly 7,500 such raids and operations were carried out, representing a 37% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

In November, an elderly woman, Haniya Hanoun, died after Israeli soldiers stormed her home in the village of al-Mazraa al-Gharbiya, north of Ramallah, beating her severely in front of her family and arresting her grandson.

According to United Nations data, over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, by Israeli forces and settlers since 7 October 2023, one in five of those killed were children. 8 April 2026
