JERUSALEM: A young Palestinian man was shot dead this evening by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Al-Eizariya, east of occupied Jerusalem, according to local sources and witnesses.

WAFA correspondent said Mahmoud Othman Warni succumbed to his injuries after being shot by Israeli occupation forces during confrontations that erupted in the town.

Earlier today, a Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces at a checkpoint south of the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli violence across the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem has flared since Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip began on October 7. Since then, the UN has verified the deaths of at least 300 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 79 children. Of these, 291 were killed by Israeli forces, eight by settlers and one was killed by either soldiers or settlers.

Nearly 4,800 Palestinians have been arrested in the West Bank as well since the war on Gaza began.
