Israel shoots Palestinian dead in southern West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian man died after being shot by Israeli forces in the occupied southern West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported.
Eyad Ayed Abdel-Najjar, 46, died after being shot in the head by Israeli forces in the Jinba area near Yatta, south of Hebron, a ministry statement said.
Witnesses said that an Israeli military unit opened fire at Palestinians near the “apartheid wall,” hitting Abdel-Najjar. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
On Sunday evening, the ministry reported that two Palestinians had been killed by Israeli gunfire near the city of Salfit.
Over the past few years, Israeli forces have conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which escalated after the war on Gaza last October, which has killed over 40,000 Palestinians.
Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.
At least 646 Palestinians have since been killed and nearly 5,400 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.
