A young Palestinian man was killed, and four others were injured, while another was arrested after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed al-Bireh, in the central West Bank on Thursday evening.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a Palestinian died of injuries he sustained in the chest during an Israeli military raid into al-Bireh.
Local sources confirmed that the university student, Wajih Muhammad al-Rumhi, was killed after being shot by Israeli soldiers as clashes erupted during the IOF raid into al-Bireh.
The Israeli forces stormed al-Bireh in large numbers amid heavy firing of teargas bombs and live ammunition, which led to the outbreak of violent clashes.
Another university student was also detained during the military raid, the sources added.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also affirmed that three people were shot by live bullets during al-Bireh raid, one of them in critical condition.
The Health Ministry earlier said that the four people, wounded by live fire during an Israeli raid on the occupied West Bank city of al-Bireh, have arrived at the Palestine Medical Complex.
The injuries are, according to the Ministry: “a critical injury with live bullets to the head, a (moderate to serious) injury to the abdomen, and two minor injuries to the lower extremities.”
“A critical injury sustained by live bullets in the chest arrived at the Red Crescent Society Hospital in al-Bireh,” the ministry added
