On Tuesday afternoon, Israeli soldiers killed a young Palestinian man during the funeral procession of another Palestinian the soldiers killed in Beit Ummar town, north of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part.
Medical sources at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Hebron said the soldiers killed Ahmad Ashraf Khalaf Awad, 20, from Beit Ummar, after shooting him with a live round to the head.
The Palestinian was killed after the army attacked the funeral procession of Montaser Abdul-Hamid Za’aqeeq, 31, whom Israeli soldiers shot in the head during the funeral procession of Mahmoud Bassem Ekhmayyes, 18 years old, who died from wounds after being shot by the soldiers.
The soldiers attacked the procession with many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades while many young men hurled stones at them.
It is worth mentioning that Palestinian fighters also exchanged fire with Israeli soldiers permanently stationed at Beit Ummar’s main entrance before the army shot a young man in the head, inflicting serious wounds.
