SALFIT, May 17, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Saturday evening that a young Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Bruqin, located in the central occupied West Bank province of Salfit.

In a brief statement, the ministry confirmed that 36-year-old Nael Sami Samara succumbed to injuries sustained after being shot by Israeli occupation forces earlier in the day in the town. The General Authority for Civil Affairs officially informed the ministry of Samara's fatal shooting.

Witnesses said that Israeli troops fired live ammunition at Samara, wounding him before detaining him while he was still injured in critical condition.
