IOF kills Palestinian young man at W. Bank checkpoint

BETHLEHEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) cold-bloodedly killed a Palestinian young man at a checkpoint in the south of Bethlehem on Thursday morning.

According to the Hebrew media, Israeli soldiers opened fire at the young man after they searched his bag and found a knife inside it.

The incident reportedly occurred near the Elazar intersection in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.

The young man was injured in his lower body, but he was left to bleed until he died.

Last Tuesday, a Palestinian young man was martyred after he injured two Shin Bet officers in a shooting operation in the same area.
