JERICHO, Palestinian Territories: Palestinian health officials said Tuesday that Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man and wounded three others in the occupied West Bank city of Jericho.
“The young man Saeed Nael Saeed Al-Sheikh, 24, was martyred by occupation gunfire in Jericho, and three others were injured to varying degrees,” the Ramallah-based health ministry said.
The man’s death was confirmed to AFP by Riad Eid, director of the Jericho Governmental Hospital.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AFP.
Violence has surged across the West Bank since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023 after an unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israel.
