Abu Mohammad, Itaf's husband describes what happened


"When the soldiers opened fire, my wife and I were sitting in the kitchen by the window, our two daughters were sitting one meter away. When the shooting stopped, one of the girls started screaming, my hand, my hand, I went to check my daughter and I found a hole in her arm and the bones were crushed. I covered the wound with my hand to stop the bleeding, then my other girl yelled at me saying look at my mother. I turned to my wife and found her neck bent on her shoulder and she was dead."

In the past 24 hours, Israeli troops carried out raids in the West Bank cities of Nablus, Hebron and Bethlehem arresting total of 40 people.
