Officer shot dead two siblings while attempting to detain their father, who is wanted by the Israeli army

Palestinian Authority (PA) forces shot dead a three-year-old girl and her teenage brother in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas on Sunday.

According to local media, Palestinian security forces opened fire on the car of Samer Samara, who is reportedly wanted by the Israeli army, as he was travelling with his wife and children.

His 16-year-old son, Yazan, was killed at the scene. His three-year-old daughter, Ronza, later died from critical head wounds.

Samara was shot in the legs and subsequently arrested by PA forces. His current condition remains unknown.
