A Palestinian youth was reportedly killed by Israeli gunfire for allegedly carrying out a shooting attack at Qalandia checkpoint, north of occupied Jerusalem on Saturday early morning, June 24, 2023.
Israeli occupation police said in a statement that a Palestinian youth opened fire at a group of Israeli soldiers at Qalandia, slightly injuring one.
It added that the Israeli occupation forces shot and killed the Palestinian man, without providing further details about his identity.
Qalandia Checkpoint is one of the largest Israeli checkpoints that bear witness to the suffering of Palestinian people, especially West Bank worshipers heading to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
For Palestinians, the checkpoint is a source of humiliation and a gateway to great suffering for employees, workers, patients, and students traveling to and from Jerusalem.
The incident at Qalandia coincided with waves of violence carried out by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in several Palestinian villages and towns, which resulted in the killing of one Palestinian in addition to mass destruction.
