On Saturday, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian young man after invading the town of Bruqin, west of Salfit in the central occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced that occupation forces shot and killed the young man, Nael Sami Abdul-Rahman Samara, 36, after being informed by the General Authority of Civil Affairs.

Media sources reported that occupation forces opened fire with live ammunition towards Samara, in the “Al-Balata” area of Bruqin town, causing injuries, before abducting him; the army withheld the body of the slain young man.

Sources added that Israeli forces stormed Bruqin town on Saturday afternoon, followed by military reinforcements, in their search for the perpetrator of the shooting operation which killed one settler and injured another near the illegal “Bruchin” settlement, west of Salfit.
