WEST BANK: Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian citizen in the Northern Occupied West Bank city of Jenin, after armed clashes broke out between the Israeli army and Palestinians following a dawn army raid, according to the media and a local hospital.
The head of the Khalil Suleiman Governmental Hospital in Jenin, Wissam Baker, said that Muhammad Maher Marei was brought in at about 02:00 GMT on Wednesday after being shot in the chest.
Baker told media that a bullet pierced Marei’s heart and that efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
“This is most likely a bullet from a sniper that aimed to kill,” said Baker. “This is what we’ve been getting used to in the recent raids on Jenin governorate no raid takes place without lethal injuries. Even those that are wounded come with critical injuries,” he added. –Agencies
