Palestinian youth shot dead by Israeli forces in Hebron

We reported earlier that Israeli forces shot and wounded a young Palestinian man in north Hebron, in the occupied West Bank. 

The Palestinian health ministry has since issued a statement confirming that 23-year-old Mohammad Wael Al-Sharouf was shot by Israeli soldiers in the head and left to bleed to death.

It added that his body was seized by Israeli forces.

Wafa reported earlier that Israeli soldiers had barred ambulance teams from reached al-Sharouf, and that they had sealed off all entrances to the city following the shooting.
