RAMALLAH: A Palestinian man in his early 30s was killed this afternoon after being shot by Israeli occupation forces near the military checkpoint of Ein Sinya to the north of Ramallah, according to the Ministry of Health.

The young man, who was identified as 31-year-old Ibrahim Samih Jayousi, was shot dead by the occupation forces near the said checkpoint north of Ramallah.

Local sources said that forces opened fire at a man near the Ain Sinya checkpoint after he allegedly attempted to carry out a stabbing attack. The occupation forces closed the checkpoint in the aftermath of the shooting and prevented Palestinians from crossing.

This route is considered one of the few available routes that Palestinians have been using to enable them to enter or exit the city of Ramallah due to the intensified erection of checkpoints, roadblocks, ongoing closures to cities and villages, and the threat of settler attacks since October 7, which all have resulted in severe restrictions on movement and left Palestinians force
d to use longer alternative roads to reach their destination.
