A Palestinian youth was fatally gunned down by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Monday at his family home in the central West Bank province of Ramallah.
According to the Hebrew-speaking 0404 news site soldiers of an Israeli special unit shot and killed a Palestinian youth after they broke into his family home in Ramallah adding that the Palestinian fired at the soldiers but none was injured.
Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot identified the casualty as Basil al-A’raj a native of Bethlehem’s western town of al-Walaja who was wanted for the Israeli intelligent for months.
Meanwhile Quds Press said sounds of gunfire exchange were detected in the area shortly after an undercover Israeli unit stormed a Palestinian home in Ramallah. Blood stains and ammunition leftovers were spotted throughout the house.
Local sources said the casualty’s body is most probably withheld by the Israeli occupation army.
Several other injuries were reported among the Palestinians in the assault.
The Palestinian health ministry officially pronounced the youth dead.
