A 24-year-old Palestinian man Ahmad Salim was killed on Monday evening by Israeli gunfire in clashes that erupted between Palestinians and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in Qalqilya. Meanwhile three others were arrested by Israeli policemen in Occupied Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the death of Salim in Jayyous town to the east of Qalqilya. He was shot in the head and moved to hospital in a very critical health condition before he died of his wounds.

Besides Israeli policemen escorted by soldiers on Monday evening raided Shufat refugee camp in Occupied Jerusalem and showered Palestinian youths with stun grenades and tear gas canisters resulting in violent clashes. A Palestinian minor was arrested as well.

Earlier in the afternoon two other youths were rounded up in al-Wad Street in Occupied Jerusalem. They were transferred to a detention center in the holy city.
