During a raid by occupation forces on the city of Nablus on May 3, 2026, the 26-year-old youth Naaf Firas Ziad Samaru was killed.

On social media, severe claims were made regarding the personal circumstances of the case, as Gaza Now and Yaseen Izz al-Din reported that Samaru had arrived at the hospital to accompany his wife for the birth of their firstborn son, and had left to purchase necessary items before being shot to death by the occupation forces.

Funeral processions were held with the participation of crowds, which were documented in live broadcasts and a series of reports by Quds News Network and Nablus Post.

Sources identified with the resistance, such as « Saraya Al-Quds - Descendants of Al-Bahaa » and Rased Al-Adu, highlighted the tragic nature of the case, using expressions such as "Zionist betrayal bullets" to describe the action of the Israeli security forces. The Palestinian press described the case as an "injustice" and emphasized the scale of the loss to the young family.
