Jerusalem (IINA) – The Israeli occupation forces have mistaken a Jewish settler for a Palestinian and fatally shot him in Jerusalem's Old City.
According to media reports, the incident happened in Jerusalem's Romema neighborhood late on Wednesday when two Israeli soldiers, boarding a bus on Yirmiyahu Street near the central bus station, were asked for their IDs by an unknown man.
When the soldiers asked the man to identify himself, he refused and tried to attack them, a move which reportedly made the soldiers open fire on him.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Further search revealed that he was an Israeli Jew himself.
However, according to Ma’an News Agency, the soldiers had orders to arrest a Palestinian suspect in the bus station but they mistook another Israeli for the Palestinian and gunned him down.
