On Tuesday evening, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a young Palestinian man near a military roadblock east of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank’s northwestern part.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that the soldiers killed Karim Nash’at Kamal Ayesh, 21, after shooing him with live fire.
It added that the soldiers prevented Palestinian medics from approaching the young men, who eventually bled to death, and closed the military roadblock.
The Israeli army claimed the young man was driving a motorcycle and opened fire at the soldiers at the roadblock before they killed him and added that no soldiers were injured.
Palestinian sources said the slain young man is from the village of Far’un, south of Tulkarem.
