The ministry in a brief statement said Israeli occupation soldiers opened gunfire at Imad Abu Rashid, 47, seriously injuring him by live bullets in his head, abdomen, and chest. He was announced dead a few minutes later.

Another man in his mid-30s, who was identified as Ramzi Ziyyara, was shot in the heart by live ammunition and critically injured. He succumbed to his serious wounds shortly after.

A third Palestinian also sustained critical injuries and was taken to hospital for medical treatment, where he underwent a surgery and is now in a stable condition, added the ministry.
