Palestinian killed by Israeli occupation gunfire northwest of al-Quds

A Palestinian youth was killed, at dawn on Thursday, by Israeli occupation forces gunfire in the village of Beit Duqqu, northwest of al-Quds (Jerusalem) in the central West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported.

According to the Ministry, Daoud Rayyan, 42, succumbed to his gunshot wounds after being shot in the heart by Israeli troops in the course of confrontations in the village.

The confrontations broke out after the Israeli occupation troops stormed the village purportedly to search the family house of a man who was killed on Wednesday for being accused of carrying out a car-ramming attack.
