Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian in West Bank
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Israeli regime forces shot and killed a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank.
According to reports, the Israeli troops fatally shot the Palestinian at a checkpoint near the occupied West Bank city of Nablus early on Tuesday.
Israeli regime forces launch incursions into the West Bank on an almost daily basis, regularly attacking Palestinians’ houses in the occupied Palestinian territories and arresting activists and civilians mostly without any charges.
On May 23, Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian protesters in the villages of Bil’in, al-Masara and Nabi Saleh in the occupied West Bank, injuring dozens of them. The protesters were demonstrating in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners who are on a hunger strike in Israeli prisons.
The protesters condemned Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and the construction of settlements and the apartheid wall in the Palestinian territory, Press TV reported.
Israeli forces used rubber-coated steel bullets, stun grenades, and teargas to disperse demonstrators.
On March 11, Israeli troops killed a Palestinian after they opened fire on his car near the city of Tulkarem in northern West Bank. Earlier in the day, a young Palestinian was killed near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
The West Bank has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. There are hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank that have made life difficult for Palestinians.
