In the few moments of silence after the shootings, before he was dragged from the family car, 12-year-old Khaled Bani Odeh thought he was the only member of his family left alive. Seconds before, his parents and two youngest brothers had been shot dead through the windscreen by Israeli forces, as they drove home after a family shopping trip in the occupied West Bank. Among the dead was six-year-old Othman - blind and disabled - killed while sitting on his mother's lap. My mother cried out one last time before going quiet, Khaled said. My father recited the Shahada [the Islamic declaration of faith] as he died. When Israeli forces tried to drag his only surviving brother, Mustafa, from the car, Khaled said he tried to intervene. They pulled me out instead and began jumping on my back, he said. Then they took me to a corner and questioned me about who had been in the car. I told them it was my mother and father. They accused me of lying and started beating me. Relatives said Ali had recently arrived home in Tammun after six weeks working on a construction site in Israel, and the boys had begged him to take them shopping in Nablus. Witnesses assert the family's vehicle was stopped before the shooting, contradicting the IDF’s narrative. Khaled’s grandmother described the rising violence against Palestinians in the West Bank as patterns of escalating assaults occur since the outbreak of conflict in October 2023, leading to a tragic toll among civilians.
