RAMALLAH: A Palestinian youth was shot by Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday afternoon near the Ein Sinya checkpoint, north of the city of Ramallah.

Local sources said that the occupation forces fired bullets at a young man near the Ein Sinya checkpoint, for allegedly trying to carry out a stabbing attack.

The occupation forces closed the said checkpoint and prevented citizens from passing through it, as it is considered one of the few crossing points that citizens now go to to exit or enter the city of Ramallah.
