On Friday dawn, Israeli soldiers fatally shot a Palestinian man in Jenin city, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.
Medical sources have confirmed that the soldiers killed Hussein Jamil Hardan, 42, before taking his corpse away.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) stated that the army later handed Hardan’s corpse to its medics at the Al-Jalama military roadblock, north of Jenin, before the medics transferred his body to the Jenin governmental hospital.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers shot Hardan with a live round in the back while he was walking near his home.
It is worth mentioning that Hardan was a former political prisoner who was imprisoned by Israel for seven years and was also injured in a previous Israeli invasion. He was a married father of five children.
