Hebron, (IINA) - An Israeli soldier stationed at the 160 checkpoint near the Ibrahimi Mosque shot dead a 23-year-old Palestinian on Thursday, bringing the death toll to 67 since the beginning of October, WAFA reported citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Local authorities and security sources said that Mahdi Muhtasib was shot dead by Israeli soldiers after accusing Muhtasib of attempted to stab them with a knife. The witnesses also said that Israeli soldiers left the young man to bleed on the scene for a long time.
Muhtasib was later moved in an Israeli ambulance to the nearby Kiryat Arba illegal settlement, where he was pronounced dead shortly after some time.
There has been mounting tension across the West Bank and Jerusalem with Israel’s repeated assault of Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, particularly its enforcement of a temporal division of the compound between Muslims and Jews.
It is noteworthy Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called Wednesday in Geneva for the creation of a "special regime" for the protection of his people, as a wave of deadly Israeli-Palestinian violence showed no sign of abating.
