A young man was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces, Wednesday evening, south of Hebron.

According to local sources, occupation forces shot a young man at a military checkpoint in the Seddat al-Fahs area, the southern entrance to Hebron, killing him. The sources noted that the occupation forces have detained the martyr's body.

Later, the Ministry of Health said that the General Authority of Civil Affairs informed it of the martyrdom of the young man, Abdul Fattah Ahed Ahmed Al-Haribat (20 years old), by the occupation forces' bullets near the city of Hebron.

The Israeli occupation army claimed that "the young man carried out a car-ramming attack against its forces stationed at a military checkpoint, then got out of his vehicle and attempted a stabbing attack before being shot and killed." This is the term used by the occupation when executing, wounding, or arresting Palestinians.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces had mobilized their forces around the "Saddat Al-Fahs" checkpoint and closed several roads in the area.
