A young man was killed this afternoon, Tuesday, after he was shot with live bullets by Israeli occupation forces near the Ein Sinya checkpoint, north of Ramallah.

The Ministry of Health said that the young man, Amid Ibrahim Samih Jayousi (31 years old), was killed by bullets from the occupation forces near the Ein Siniya checkpoint, north of Ramallah.

Local sources said that the occupation forces fired bullets at a young man near the Ain Sina checkpoint, allegedly trying to carry out a stabbing attack.

The occupation forces closed the Ain Sina checkpoint and prevented citizens from passing through it, as it is considered one of the few crossing points that citizens now go to, to exit or enter the city of Ramallah.
