RAMALLAH, Nov 3 (KUNA) -- Two Palestinians were killed Monday morning in the West Bank governorates of Nablus and Al-Khalil, one shot by Israeli occupation forces and the other shot by a settler, reported the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
A statement by the ministry explained that 17-year-old Jameel Hanani was killed after being shot by Israeli occupation forces who raided the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, Sunday night, sparking clashes during which the Israeli occupation forces used live ammunition.
Hanani was transferred to a hospital with critical chest wounds and taken to the operating room but succumbed to his injuries.
A young man, Ahmad Al-Atrash, was also shot and killed early Monday morning by a settler in Al-Khalil at the northern entrance to the city, according to the Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA).
WAFA reported that Israeli occupation forces took his body to an unknown location after summoning his family to identify him.
In a press statement, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said that the Israeli occupation forces prevented its crews from assisting a person with a head shot wound in the Ras Al-Joura area in Al-Khalil, and did not allow ambulance crews to reach the wounded person, who was declared dead.
