A Palestinian young man was shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Huwara town in Nablus governorate on Thursday evening.
The General Authority of Civil Affairs told the Palestinian ministry of health that a Palestinian citizen was martyred in Huwara town without providing further details.
The IOF said that they targeted the young man after surrounding a building south of Nablus.
The IOF claimed that the targeted youth is the attacker who carried out the Huwara shooting operation against a Jewish settlers&rsquo vehicle this evening adding that a Jewish settler panicked due to the attack.
Palestinian resistance fighters have been escalating their resistance activities in several areas of the West Bank in response to the repeated Israeli violations and settlers&rsquo attacks against the Palestinian people lands and holy sites.
