REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, RAMALLAH -- Israeli soldiers opened fire and killed on Saturday a Palestinian young man at an Israeli army checkpoint near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, eyewitnesses and medics said.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society medics said Israeli soldiers shot dead a young Palestinian at an Israeli roadblock in the village of Bita south of Nablus, adding that Israeli army rejects to let the Palestinian ambulances reach the body of the young man and still kept the body laid on the ground.
Eyewitnesses said the Israeli soldiers killed the Palestinian young man, whose identity is still unknown, after he stabbed one of the soldiers at an Israeli army roadblock south of Nablus.
There has been no immediate Israeli comment to the incident.
Stabbing Israeli soldiers and driving Palestinian cars over Israeli settlers had increased since the Jewish arson attack on a house in the village of Duma near Nablus on July 31, which killed a father and his toddler son.
No one claimed responsibility for the increasing stabbing attacks in the West Bank, but Husam Badran, a spokesman for Islamic Hamas movement in the West Bank, said in an emailed press statement that the stabbings "are a response to the Israeli occupation's daily violations against our people."
