PA security forces kill Palestinian in Tulkarm refugee camp
Palestinian security forces shot dead a young man from Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern West Bank on Wednesday.
According to Major General Talal Dweikat of the Palestinian Security Forces, forces arrived at the scene to remove "dangerous material" from the camp after they received several complaints from institutions and individuals.
Local sources said that Dweikat's comments referred to barricades set up by resistance group to hinder incursions by Israeli occupation forces.
Once they arrived at the camp, altercations took place between the security forces and residents, leading the PSF to fire tear gas, and eventually transforming into armed clashes. Dweikat said that the situation "threatened civil peace" and "necessitated intervention."
The victim was identified as 22-year-old Abdul Qadir Zakdah.
