Israeli forces gun down Palestinian in confrontations in al-Bireh

Israeli forces Thursday dawn gunned down a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank city of al-Bireh, according to local sources.

They said Israeli forces barged their way into al-Bireh city of Sateh Marhaba, ransacking several houses and sparking confrontations.

The gun-toting soldiers opened fire towards local youths attempting to block their passage, killing Yazan Afaneh, a 26-year-old resident of the nearby Qalandiya refugee camp, north of Jerusalem.
