Palestinian killed by Israeli forces in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A young man was shot dead by Israeli forces at the entrance of Nabi Yunis town north of Hebron on Tuesday, Palestine TV reported.
Palestinian activists and local media circulated a video showing a young man lying on the ground while Israeli soldiers surrounded him.
“The Israeli forces prevented the medics from reaching the young man,” an eyewitness told reporters.
According to Israeli Army Radio, the Palestinian was shot after he ‘tried to attack’ Israeli forces near the town of Halhul.
However, no injuries were reported among Israeli forces.
On Sunday, a Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces in the West Bank for allegedly “trying to grab a soldier’s gun.”
Of late, human rights groups have raised concerns over the disproportionate use of firepower by the Israeli army against Palestinian civilians.
