JENIN, Saturday, May 13, 2023 (WAFA) – A Palestinian young man was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces today at Rihan military checkpoint, to the southwest of Jenin in the north of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources
Tareq Qabaha, the mayor of Tura al-Gharbiya village, told WAFA that Israeli soldiers stationed at the checkpoint, located immediately outside the village, opened gunfire at 33-year-old Ahmad Mohammad Atatrah while he was trying to cross through the checkpoint by a bike, critically injuring him.
The young man was left bleeding in critical condition until he succumbed to his wounds in a few minutes, Qabaha added. He pointed out that medics were denied access to the young man until he died of his wounds.
The latest Israeli crime brings up the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of this year to 151, including 33 in the Gaza Strip since last Tuesday.
