An undercover Israeli agent executed, on Wednesday afternoon, a Palestinian young man in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced that occupation forces shot and killed the young man, Nidal Ziyad Al-Amer, 23, in the city of Jenin.

Media sources said that an undercover agent (Musta’ribeen) infiltrated the industrial zone in Jenin city driving a civilian vehicle with Palestinian license plates.

Sources added that the special unit shot Al-Amer with live ammunition, at point blank range, causing life-threatening injuries.

Palestine TV published videos showing medical crews performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), however these measures were unsuccessful, and the young man ultimately succumbed to his wounds.


It is important to mention that the young man’s father, Ziad Al-Amer, a notable leader in the Fatah movement, was killed by Israeli forces during its 2002 attack on the city of Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp.

Later, local Palestinian mourners gathered for the funeral procession, carrying the slain young man’s body on their shoulders, and marching through the city and its camp.

Mourners arrived at the family home in the Jenin camp where loved ones said their final goodbyes, before proceeding to the Grand Mosque.

The funeral prayer was performed over the body before he was laid to rest in the Martyrs’ Cemetery in the Jenin camp.

The local Fatah movement and the National and Islamic factions called for a comprehensive commercial strike to mourn the death of the young man.

In related news, large crowds gathered, in the afternoon, in front of the Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarem to mourn the loss of the four slain Palestinians killed on Tuesday night in the Nur Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarem in the northwestern part of the West Bank.

The funeral prayer was performed in the courtyard of Al-Awda Park in the Nur Shams camp, before their bodies were laid to rest in the Martyrs’ Cemetery in the camp.
