Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot and killed a young Palestinian man on Wednesday evening for allegedly trying to carry out a car-ramming attack at the al-Zaeem checkpoint east of Occupied Jerusalem.
Hebrew sources earlier reported that the Israeli soldiers fired at the driver of the car at the al-Zaeem checkpoint and he was seriously injured.
Eyewitnesses said that IOF soldiers shot the young man while he was passing at the al-Zaeem checkpoint and did not allow anyone to approach the area.
The IOF closed the checkpoint amid massive deployment of Israeli soldiers in the area according to the eyewitnesses.
