Israeli forces shoot dead Palestinian youth in Tulkarm

Tulkarm (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces shot dead a Palestinian youth at Jubara military checkpoint, south of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank on Monday night.

Local sources said that Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire last night at the 15-year-old Palestinian, identified as Mohammad Nedal Younes, while he was driving at the checkpoint.

The teenager had an accident, wounding an Israeli soldier. However, Israeli media claimed he tried to run over a number of soldiers at the checkpoint.

Younes was transferred to a hospital inside the 1948-occupied Palestinian territories as he was shot with several bullets.

He succumbed to his serious wounds shortly afterwards.
