Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian young man on Monday while he was near a military roadblock north of Qalqilia, in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
Media sources reported that occupation forces killed 18-year-old Mohammad Kamal Shreim after shooting him in the chest with live ammunition.
The targeted young man was transported to the Darwish Nazzal Governmental Hospital in Qalqilia suffering serious injuries before doctors pronounced him deceased.
Soldiers stationed at a military roadblock at the northern entrance to Qalqilia, opened fire with live ammunition towards the youth under unknown circumstances, while he was near the Apartheid Wall.
Later in the evening Palestinian citizens gathered in front of Darwish Nazzal Governmental Hospital to receive the body of the slain teen, before marching towards his family’s home in the Al-Naqqar neighborhood.
After the young man’s family said their goodbyes, the funeral procession continued on to the local mosque and to the cemetery where his body was laid to rest.
