The Israeli regime's forces have shot and killed another Palestinian in the northern part of the Tel Aviv-occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank.
The victim was fatally shot near the Huwwara checkpoint, one of the main exits of the city of Nablus, Lebanon's al-Mayadeen television network reported in early Friday.
Two more Palestinians were also wounded during the Israeli assault.
The casualties were caused amid an ongoing siege of the city by the occupying regime.
The regime began enforcing the lockdown after reported killing of an Israeli trooper earlier in the month. The sweeping closure has restricted travel in and out of the city for some 200,000 Palestinians.
Since imposing the siege, the forces have been carrying out daily raids throughout the city to hunt down those, who were responsible for the reported death on October 11 of the trooper that the regime says was caused by the Lions' Den -- an emerging group of Palestinian resistance fighters.
On Tuesday alone, the regime killed five Palestinians during a massive search and arrest operation throughout Nablus.
At least 176 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the illegally occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip since the beginning of the year, including 51 Palestinians, who died during Israel’s three-day assault on Gaza in August, according to the Palestinian Authority's health ministry.
Local and international rights groups have condemned Israel’s excessive use of force and “shoot-to-kill policy” against Palestinians.
