Ramallah, occupied West Bank: A Palestinian man has been shot dead by Israeli forces during a confrontation that followed an army raid on Balata refugee camp near the northern city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the man as 21-year-old Bakeer Mohammad Hashash and said he was shot dead at dawn on Thursday with a bullet to his head.
Hashash’s family told local media that the Israeli army had been trying to arrest him for a long time.
In a video interview, Hashash’s mother said he left home fearing arrest when he heard about the army’s raid on the camp.
His brother was quoted by local media as saying that Hashash was in a confrontation with the Israeli forces before he was shot dead.
