Illegal Israeli colonizers killed a Palestinian young man on Wednesday, while occupation soldiers conducted a large-scale abduction campaign in the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.
Medical sources at the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, reported that the young man Odah Atef Odah Awawda, 25, died shortly after his arrival to the hospital, as a result of a live gunshot wound to the back.
