The 17-year-old Muhammad Yusef Zubaidat was killed on Tuesday evening, as a result of being shot by an Israeli military police force in the Jordan Valley area in Jericho.

The so-called "Border Guard" of the Israeli police said that a Palestinian approached a force stationed at the Argaman intersection on Road 90 in the Jordan Valley, and the source of fire was responded to, and he was chased and killed nearby.

The statement stated that a female soldier affiliated with the force was lightly and moderately wounded, after an exchange of fire at the scene.

The Dawn Brigade, one of the resistance brigades in the West Bank, claimed responsibility for the operation, and published a picture of the martyr Zubaidat.
