Palestinian youth shot dead by Israeli forces near Nablus

A 25-year-old Palestinian young man was shot and killed on Friday evening by Israeli occupation forces at Huwwara military checkpoint, to the south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to medical sources.

Ahmad Jibril, a spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent, said Abdullah Sami Qalalweh, a resident of the village of Al-Judeida in the Jenin province, died a few minutes after being critically injured by Israeli occupation soldiers at the checkpoint.

Qalalweh’s death brings up the death toll of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of the year to 36, including 8 children and an elderly woman.
