Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian during overnight clashes as they arrived in east al-Quds to demolish the home of the alleged perpetrator of a deadly attack on Israelis.
An occupation army spokeswoman said on Thursday that during a confrontation soldiers opened fire “resulting in the death” of a Palestinian.
The Palestinian health ministry identified the martyr as Ahmad al-Kharoubi, 19.
The spokeswoman said Israeli occupation soldiers were attempting to demolish the home of Misbah Abu Sbeih — who went on a deadly shooting in October — in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Kufr Aqab.
Abu Sbeih was shot dead by occupation forces on October 9 after killing two Israelis including a police officer.
The occupied territories have been since October 2015 rocked by a wave of unrest due to strict Israeli measures especially in al-Quds and near al-Aqsa Mosque, with Zionist settlers, backed by IOF, repeatedly storming the holy compound.
Palestinians have been retaliating for the Israeli attacks by stabbing attempts. However, the occupation authorities have been using such attempts as a pretext to kill Palestinians.
Since October 2015, 245 Palestinians have been martyred while 36 Israelis have been killed.
