The Israeli occupation army shot and killed, on Saturday, a Palestinian after an alleged run-over attempt near Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.
Israeli soldiers stationed at the entrance to the Al-Fawwar refugee camp, southwest of Hebron, opened heavy fire at a vehicle after an alleged run-over attempt.
The driver of the vehicle was critically injured with live ammunition, while soldiers denied him medical intervention, leaving him to bleed.
The Ministry of Health announced the death of Muhammad Hussein Ismail Masalmeh, from a critical gunshot wound inflicted on him by the Israeli army.
Israeli sources said that one Israeli soldier was injured at the entrance to the Al-Fawwar refugee camp in the alleged attack.
On Saturday evening occupation forces stormed the slain man’s home in the town of Beit ‘Awwa, west of Hebron, triggering protests among local Palestinian residents.
Soldiers fired rubber-coated steel rounds and tear gas canisters at those who resisted the incursion, causing several injuries.
At least four young men were shot with rubber-coated steel rounds, and dozens suffered the toxic effects of tear gas inhalation.
The occupation army abducted three of the slain man’s brothers, Rafi, Hakam and Saif Hussein Masalmeh, and his cousin, Mutasim Jabr Atiya Shalash, 31.
