Israeli soldiers shoot dead Palestinian man in West Bank
One Palestinian man has been shot dead and some others have sustained serious injuries in a fresh Israeli attack on the Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
The incident occurred on Tuesday when the Palestinian man allegedly attempted to drive his vehicle into some Israeli soldiers in the occupied territory.
Qalandiya, which is located between East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Ramallah, has been the scene of frequent attacks launched by Israeli forces over the past weeks.
Tensions in the occupied territories have dramatically escalated since the Israeli regime’s imposition of restrictions in August on the entry of Palestinian worshipers to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds.
Palestinians are angry at increasing violence by Israeli settlers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and their attacks on Palestinian properties, saying that the Tel Aviv regime seeks to change the status quo of the compound.
More than 120 Palestinians have been killed in the recent escalation of violence since the start of October. Nearly 20 Israelis have also been killed in the clashes.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS), 85 percent of Palestinians who were killed by Israeli troops since the beginning of violence were “extra-judicially executed.”
