Alwaght- Israeli regime forces shoot one Palestinian youth dead and injured another in occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Israeli forces opened fire on their car as they were passing a street in Shu’fat refugee camp, northeast of al-Quds, claiming the two were trying to carry out an attack.
The al-Aqsa TV reported local witnesses as saying the Israeli soldiers approached the car after the shooting and arrested the injured youth while he was still bleeding.
The locals identified the slain young Palestinian man as Mustafa Nimr from the Dahieh al-Salam neighborhood in 'Anata town, located four kilometers northeast of the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds.
Israeli forces, however, later declared though a spokeswoman that the soldiers fired shots at the car on the suspicion that the pair sought to conduct a car-ramming assault.
At least 236 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in the tensions since the beginning of last October. The violence has also killed at least 32 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese.
