Israeli military forces have shot and killed a Palestinian man amid tensions over the regime’s settlement expansion plans and forced expulsion of Palestinian families from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East al-Quds.

WAFA, also known as the Palestine News Agency, citing witnesses, said Israeli troops fatally shot a young man and injured another on Friday morning after opening fire at a passenger car in the Arab-majority city of Umm al-Fahm, 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest of Jenin.

Identified as Fathi Mohammed Fathi Jabrin, the victim succumbed to his wounds on the spot, the report noted. The other man was detained by the Israeli regime forces in an injured state for interrogation.

The Israeli police, meanwhile, said in a statement that the two border police officers were injured in a car-ramming attack in Umm al-Fahm.
