Medical sources reported that 19-year-old Moheeb Jibril was killed by gunfire from a settler in the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

Jibril was shot in the head during clashes that erupted at the entrance of the town, during which Israeli occupation forces and settlers fired live ammunition heavily at residents. The moment of his killing was documented.

Moheeb’s killing comes shortly after the killing of 16-year-old Ammar Sabah, who was shot during clashes between residents and Israeli occupation forces that stormed the town of Tuqu’.

Israeli occupation forces and settlers have escalated their violations and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem over the past month of November. The Palestinian Information Center “Mo’ta” documented 7,066 violations during the month in the West Bank and Jerusalem, resulting in 25 fatalities and 309 injuries.
