Israeli forces shot and killed, on Tuesday, a Palestinian man while near the Apartheid Wall, north of Tulkarem in the northwestern part of the West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry announced, on Tuesday afternoon, that the citizen, Samir Abdul-Rahim Amer, 55, died after Israeli forces shot and critically injured him while he was near the Apartheid Wall, near the village of Al-Jaroushiya, northeast of Tulkarem.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulance crews transported the critically wounded man to the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarem, where he was later pronounced dead from a live gunshot wound to the chest.
Media sources said that the slain Amer was a resident of the nearby Shweika suburb, north of Tulkarem.
On Tuesday evening, dozens of Palestinians gathered in front of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital to receive the body of the slain man, before marching the streets chanting slogans condemning the continuous crimes of the Israeli occupation.
The body was then transferred to the body to the family’s home in the Shuweika suburb where his loved ones said their last goodbyes, before they buried him in the Faqha Cemetery.
