Israeli forces shot and killed, on Sunday, a Palestinian youth at the entrance to the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

Media sources said that soldiers positioned at the entrance to the camp opened live fire at a vehicle while it was leaving the camp.

As the occupant exited the car, occupation forces shot the young man with several live rounds, leading to his death.

Soldiers detained the body of the slain young man who was identified as Qatada Salama Ghunaimat, 20.

Sources added that the army opened fire at Palestinian Red Crescent Society medics when they attempted to approach the young man to provide first aid.

Earlier Sunday, five Palestinians were killed by the army in the occupied West Bank, two of whom were killed by an Israeli airstrike, while three others, including a child were shot and killed by occupation bullets near Jenin, Nablus and Tubas.
