Palestinian youth fatally shot by Israeli forces in Nablus

Nablus (QNN)- A Palestinian youth was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces at Huwwara checkpoint, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Friday evening.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that 26-year-old Palestinian Abdullah Sameeh Qalalweh, a resident of Jenin’s Al-Judeida village, was shot by Israeli gunfire and ‏succumbed to his critical wounds a few minutes later at the Huwwara military checkpoint on Friday evening.

Qalalweh is the first Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces in February and the 36th since the start of the year.

January has been the bloodiest month for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since 2015 with 35 Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces and settlers, according to the Ministry of Health, including an elderly woman and eight children.
