Israeli forces have gunned down yet another Palestinian during a raid targeting the city of Tulkarm in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
The fatality was caused in early Friday as the forces began targeting the Tulkarm Refugee Camp inside the city, Palestinian media outlets reported.
The victim was identified as 23-year-old Mahmoud Jihad Jarrad.
Jarrad was wounded in the chest during the raid before being transferred to a nearby hospital in a very critical condition. There he succumbed to his injuries.
The raid also wounded four more Palestinians, one of them critically.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, the Israeli forces would prevent ambulances from reaching the site to transfer the wounded to the hospital.
The casualties were caused only hours after the regime’s forces similarly shot dead a Palestinian youth as part of a swoop near the city of Nablus, which is likewise located in the north of the West Bank.
