Palestinian martyred by Israeli occupation forces in the city of al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that a Palestinian was martyred early Tuesday morning after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the city of al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank.

The ministry stated in a press release that Ziad Jaber, 54, was martyred by occupation fire in the Um al-Sharait neighborhood in al-Bireh, adjacent to the city of Ramallah.

Earlier, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported in a press statement that its teams responded to a Palestinian shot in the abdomen and thigh. It said that emergency crews attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation before transporting him to a hospital, where his death was confirmed.

According to local sources, Israeli occupation forces shot Jaber inside his home and executed him during a raid and search operation conducted in the neighborhood, during which they arrested three Palestinians, including the martyr’s nephew.
