Israeli forces executed a Palestinian young man, on Wednesday, after besieging and bombing his home in the town Qaffin, northeast of Tulkarem in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
Media sources announced, on Wednesday evening, that the young man, Ahmad Mahmoud Khaled Amarneh, 25, was shot and killed by occupation forces after they besieged his home in Qaffin town.
Sources added that a large army force besieged the slain man’s home, in the afternoon, trapping him inside for three hours and firing live rounds and at least one “Energa” anti-tank grenade at the home.
Occupation soldiers demanded the young man surrender himself over loudspeakers, while additional reinforcements arrived, and sharpshooters were positioned on the rooftops of tall buildings, amid the overhead flight of reconnaissance drones.
During the incursion, armed Palestinian resistance fighters exchanged fire with the attacking army and targeted armored vehicles with crude explosive devices.
It is important to mention that after executing the young Amarneh, the army confiscated his body before withdrawing from the town.
