Jerusalem: Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian youth in the occupied West Bank area of Jericho.
According to international media, the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed in a press conference that on Monday, Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a Palestinian youth in the Iqbat Jabr refugee camp in Jericho, occupied West Bank.
Local residents say Israeli forces raided Uqbat Jabr and arrested three people, including 20-year-old Sulaiman Aish Ovid, who was wounded by Israeli direct fire before being arrested.
Israeli authorities later informed the Palestinian Authority’s Civil Liaison Office that Owaid had died of his injuries while in custody.
Sulaiman’s father recounted the details of the incident with teary eyes, saying that I was sleeping when the gunshots rang out and I woke up. My son was out with his friends when he was shot. Just yesterday he was helping people at the post and distributing water.
