A young man died of his wounds after being shot by Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday evening, while they were besieging a house in the Artah suburb, south of Tulkarm, amid heavy gunfire.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that its crews received the body of a martyr who had been injured in the Artah suburb and detained by the occupation forces, and he was transferred to the hospital.

According to local sources, special forces from the occupation army stormed the suburb and surrounded a residential building at its entrance, before being followed by reinforcements from the occupation military vehicles.

The sources added that the occupation forces surrounded the building, which includes a number of residential apartments, amid heavy gunfire, which led to the injury of a young man at the scene, where the occupation forces detained him until he died as a martyr from his injuries.

She added that the occupation soldiers demanded that the owners of one of the houses come out via loudspeakers, and they also demanded that a young man surrender himself.

The sources indicated that the occupation forces arrested the young man Mahmoud Amin Abu Hamdeh, a resident of Nour Shams camp, while he was in the Artah suburb.

The occupation continues its aggression on the city and camp of Tulkarm, amidst a large deployment of infantry patrols in various neighborhoods of the city and camp, and its transformation of a number of houses into military barracks and places for its snipers, who fire randomly at everything that moves.
