Each person shot in the head in the village of Tammun, while two other children of the deceased couple sustain injuries.

Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian couple and two of their children as they drove in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian health authorities, with the Israeli military saying the incident is under review.

Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his 35-year-old wife Waad, and two of their children – Mohammad and Othman, aged five and seven, respectively – were shot in the head in the village of Tammun on Sunday. Two of their other children were wounded by shrapnel, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Speaking to the Reuters news agency at the hospital, Khaled, 12, one of the two surviving boys, said he heard his mother crying, his father praying, but no voice of any of his other brothers before silence prevailed after shots sprayed the car.

“We came under direct fire; we didn’t know the source. Everyone in the car was ⁠martyred, except my brother Mustafa and me,” the boy said.

He said soldiers, who ⁠pulled him out of the vehicle before beating him, shouted: “We killed dogs.”

      That’s simply not true. Most Americans are extremely distressed with what is happening in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. There is a small group of MAGA Billionaire Pedophile Psychopaths who have stolen our country, and are using it to advance their own personal agenda. We are doing everything we can to thwart these maniacs, but our tools are limited, and our best tools, elections, are on a calendar. We can’t shift them, we can only wait, and VOTE.

      After that, if they somehow sabotage our last, best strategy, the 2028 Presidential Election, then we’ll have to resort to more serious strategies.
