RAMALLAH, Jan. 12 (YPA) – A Palestinian man was killed early Wednesday north of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah by the Zionist forces, WAFA News Agency reported, citing sources.

An 80-year-old Palestinian man died early today after Israeli occupation soldiers detained, blindfolded, and handcuffed him in the village of Jiljilya, north of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, sources confirmed.

According to Fouad Moutee, head of the Jiljilya village council, Omar Abdalmajeed As’ad was going home after a visit to his relatives when the occupation soldiers stopped his vehicle and pulled him out of it, blindfolded, handcuffed, and harassed him before leaving him in a building that was under construction.
