Israeli forces kill Palestinian near Ramallah
A Palestinian man has been shot dead by Israeli forces in a village northeast of the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Abdullah Ghanayem, 21, was killed in Kufor Malek Village in the early hours of Sunday.
According to local Palestinian sources, an Israeli military vehicle also turned over in the course of the clashes with the Palestinians in the village and landed on the dead body of Ghanayem.
The Israeli military had reportedly stormed the village to detain a number of Palestinians.
The Israeli military regularly raids Palestinian homes in the West Bank and makes arrests. The detainees are then transferred to Israeli prisons, where they are interrogated for weeks without being charged.
Over 7,000 Palestinians are reportedly incarcerated in 17 Israeli prisons and detention camps. Moreover, 540 Palestinians are held without any trial under the so-called administrative detention, which is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to imprison Palestinians for up to six months. The detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of time.
In a separate development, another Palestinian was injured in shooting by Israeli forces near the Sufa crossing in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to Palestinian Ma’an news agency.
