Israeli Forces Shoot Dead Palestinian Man in Occupied West Bank (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israeli forces shot dead a young Palestinian man and wounded dozens more in southern parts of the occupied West Bank on Monday.
The man was shot in the chest in al-Arroub refugee camp, near Hebron city, Palestinian health ministry officials said, according to Aljazeera.
According to a statement by the ministry, the deadly incident occurred when Israeli soldiers opened live fire on Palestinians who had held a protest rally at al-Arroub refugee camps north of al-Khalil (Hebron).
The Palestinian, identified as 22-year-old Omar Haitham al-Badawi, sustained critical injuries when he was shot in the chest during the clashes and was taken to a local clinic after Israeli forces prevented Red Crescent ambulances from reaching him.
He was later rushed to a hospital in al-Khalil, where he soon succumbed to his severe wounds, Palestine’s official WAFA news agency.
Similar clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters were reported in al-Fawar refugee camp, south of al-Khalil.
A number of protesters were wounded by Israeli gunfire and dozens more were injured after inhaling Israeli army tear gas.
