An illegal Israeli colonizer shot and killed a Palestinian young man on Monday, at the entrance to the city of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank.
WAFA correspondent reported that the young man, Ahmad Ribhi Al-Atrash, 32, was killed before dawn Monday, after being shot in the head with live ammunition at the northern entrance to Hebron city.
Media sources said that occupation forces invaded the Ras al-Joura area of the city, and blocked ambulance crews from reaching the wounded young man, leaving him to bleed on the ground.
The ARAB 48 news website quoted the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) who said that “a young man was shot by the occupation forces in the Ras al-Joura area, north of Hebron,” and added that “the occupation is preventing its crews from evacuating him.”
Hours earlier, the occupation army shot and killed the Palestinian child, Jamil Atef Jamil Hanani, 17, after shooting him in the chest with live rounds, in Beit Furik town, southeast of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
