Salameh is reportedly a groom whose wedding party was due to take place next Saturday. He was preparing for the party when the forces raided the area and assassinated him.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group has identified Salameh as one of its commanders in Jenin.
In the past few hours, four Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces, two are from the occupied city of Jerusalem and the two others are Salameh and Khlouf.
