JERUSALEM, May 17 , 2025 (WAFA) –A Palestinian man was killed after being shot by Israeli occupation forces, leaving him bleeding on the ground in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, near Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Jerusalem Governorate said that the occupation forces blocked all the gates to Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and assaulted several worshippers as the latter attempted to exit the holy site via Bab al-Asbat.

The occupation forces also raided the town of Beit Hanina, north of occupied Jerusalem and broke into the home of the slain Palestinian Abu Libdeh's family. They detained several members of his family after searching the house and ransacking its contents.

A viral video shows the young man, lying bleeding on the ground without receiving prompt medical assistance.

The occupation forces shot him allegedly after carrying out a stabbing attack, which left a soldier moderately injured.

In the aftermath, additional reinforcements of occupation forces arrived at the scene. They sealed off the gate, set up checkpoints in several neighborhoods, and tightly restricted the movement of Palestinians.
