Ramallah, April 11 (QNA) - A young Palestinian man was killed following an Israeli settler attack on the village of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, Saturday. 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that the 23-year-old succumbed to critical injuries sustained from being shot at by Israeli settlers during their assault on the village.

With the bullet penetrating his back and chest, the man was transported in extremely critical condition to the Palestine Medical Complex, where he was later pronounced dead.

Under the protection of Israeli forces, the armed settlers had earlier attacked Deir Jarir from its western entrance and had opened live fire toward residents in the area. (QNA)
