A Palestinian man was killed during an Israeli military operation in Nablus on November 24, 2025, marking the latest escalation in the West Bank. Abdel-Raouf Shatyeh, whom Israeli authorities had pursued for 18 months over alleged involvement in a fatal 2024 attack on soldiers, died after troops surrounded a building in eastern Nablus and engaged in heavy fire.
Local sources reported Israeli forces used shoulder-fired projectiles during the raid, igniting flames in the targeted apartment. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated its medics were barred from accessing the scene, with confirmation of Shatyeh’s death later provided by residents. The Israel Defense Forces described the incident as part of an ongoing “counterterrorism operation” against individuals linked to armed groups.
Multiple arrests were reported across Nablus neighborhoods during the operation. Such raids have intensified since early 2025, reflecting persistent volatility in the region despite international calls for de-escalation.
