Israeli forces killed young Palestinian in the West Bank

Ramallah, Apr 9 (Prensa Latina) Israeli security forces killed a 20-year-old Palestinian after opening fire on a group of young people protesting against the occupation in the West Bank village of Azzun, an official source reported Sunday.

Health Ministry said in a statement that Ayed Azzam Saleem died Saturday night at the Darwish Nazzal Public Hospital after being shot by Israeli gunfire in her abdomen and chest.

Cited by WAFA news agency, witnesses reported that Israeli forces attacked Palestinians who were peacefully protesting in Azzun.

In recent days, tension escalated in the occupied territories following the Israeli law enforcement assaults on the Al Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, an action strongly condemned by the international community, especially Arab and Muslim nations.
