On Wednesday afternoon, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian young man and injured others, at the entrance to the city of Al-Biereh, east of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.
Media sources said that occupation forces attacked a march commemorating the 76th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, at the northern entrance to Al-Biereh.
Soldiers opened fire at peaceful demonstrators with live rounds, concussion grenades, and tear gas canisters, shooting and seriously injuring a Palestinian young man with a live round in the neck.
The critically injured young man was transported to hospital, where doctors attempted life saving measures which were unsuccessful; he was pronounced dead at that time.
The slain young man was identified as Ayser Mohammad Safi, 20, a student at Birzeit University, and a resident of the Al-Jalazoun refugee camp, north of Ramallah.
It was added that Palestinians participating in the march protested the army attack, and dozens suffered the toxic effects of tear gas inhalation.
