Palestinian killed by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire near Ramallah

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Oct. 15 (YPA) – A 23-year-old Palestinian, was killed on Friday night by Israeli occupation forces gunfire near Ramallah, Palestinian media reported, citing the Ministry of Health’s statement.

The Ministry of Health said that it was informed by the Palestinian Civil Affair Authority that Qais Emad Shajayyeh, from the town of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, was killed last night by Israeli occupation soldiers near Jalazon refugee camp, north of Ramallah, and that the soldiers had withheld the body.

The occupation army later informed the Palestinian side of his death.

Soldiers this morning raided the Shajayyeh home in Deir Jarir, ransacked it, and arrested three people, according to sources.

Shajayyeh is the third Palestinian killed yesterday by the Israeli occupation army after two were killed earlier in the day in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.
