A young Palestinian man succumbed to injuries this evening inflicted by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire near the village of Atuf in the northern Jordan Valley, according to medical sources.

The Ministry of Health confirmed the murder of Karam Bani Odeh, a 25-year-old youth from the town of Tammoun, who was shot by Israeli occupation forces near the said village, located in the northern Jordan Valley region in the occupied west Bank.

Earlier in the day, the forces opened fire on Bani Odeh, preventing ambulance teams from approaching and providing medical assistance. The young man was later announced dead of his wounds.

Simultaneously, Israeli occupation forces closed the military checkpoints of Tayasir and Al-Hamra-both located in the vicinity of the deadly incident–in both directions, severely impacting the movement of Palestinian civilians and leading to a traffic jam.
