Israeli forces kill Palestinian with mental disability in al-Quds

SANAA, May 30 (YPA) – A Palestinian with mental disability was shot dead on Saturday by Israeli occupying forces at the door of al-Asbat, one of the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in al-Quds Jerusalem.

Israel’s Channel 13 reported that the so-called border police in Jerusalem’s Old City opened fire this morning, killing a Palestinian initially suspected of carrying something that looked like a gun, and was chased to death by force.

Later appeared that he was not carrying a gun or any other weapon and it turned out to be a disabled man.

The Palestine Now Agency confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces pursued a  man with mental disability on the way of the mujahideen “between Bab al-Asbat and Bab Hatta” and shot him intensively, allegedly carrying out a stabbing attack.

The shooting occurred at 6:10 a.m. The man was in the area along with a woman, a cleaner and the young man who shot him, according to the agency.

The Agency added that the Israeli occupation forces closed the entire vicinity of Bab al-Asbat, as well as the gates of al-Quds’s old city, and prevented them from going out or entering.
