A Palestinian was shot dead and another wounded on Monday near an Israeli checkpoint in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials said.
A spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent, Mahmoud al-Sa’di, said Israeli forces opened fire on two young men who were travelling on a motorcycle near the Jalamah checkpoint in the northern city of Jenin.
The two men were transferred to Jenin hospital. One died after being shot in the head with a live round. He was identified by the Palestinian health ministry as 19-year-old Abdullah Tawalba.
The other unnamed man is in a stable condition.
The Israeli army said its troops fired at “two assailants who hurled an explosive device” in the vicinity of the checkpoint, adding no soldiers were hurt.
