Illegal Israeli colonizers killed a Palestinian young man and injured two others, one critically, on Sunday night, in the village of Hajja, east of Qalqilia in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its ambulance crews transported three citizens to the hospital after they sustained live gunshot injuries during an attack by colonizers.
The PRCS reported that a young man was shot in the head with live ammunition during the attack; he was later pronounced deceased from his injury.
It added that another citizen sustained a critical injury after being shot in the chest with live ammunition, and a 17-year-old minor was shot in the thigh with live rounds.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that the young man Omar Muhammad Tubasi (20 years old), was killed after being shot in the head by Israeli settlers.
Just four days earlier, Israeli sharpshooters shot and killed the child Khalil Rasem Abu Alia, 16, and Omar Mohammad Naji Al-Naasan, 19, when they confronted a colonizer attack in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
Since the beginning of the year, Israeli soldiers and illegal colonizers have killed 97 Palestinians, including 26 children and 6 women in the occupied West Bank.
Among those, 22 have been killed in Ramallah, 20 in Hebron, 19 in Nablus, 11 in Jerusalem, 9 in Jenin, 6 in Tubas, 3 in Bethlehem, 3 in Qalqilia, 2 in Jericho and the Jordan Valley, 1 in Salfit, and 1 in Tulkarem, according to the Shireen Observatory.
