Palestinian young man killed in Tulkarm by Israeli occupation army

RAMALLAH, March. 30 (YPA) – The young man, Abdul Rahman Hamza Abu Al-Rub (31 years old), from the town of Jalbun in Jenin Governorate, was martyred after being shot by the Israeli occupation army at “Anab” military checkpoint, east of the city of Tulkarm, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health’s General Authority for Civil Affairs.

It explained tha the occupation forces opened fire on a civilian vehicle, directly hitting Abdul Rahman, and prevented Palestinian Red Crescent crews from reaching him.

The occupation army claimed that the shooting was due to an alleged attempted car-ramming attack, without providing any evidence.

This incident comes amidst an escalation of ongoing Israeli aggression in the West Bank, where another young man was killed in the town of Dura, south of Hebron, last night.
