AhlulBayt News Agency: A Palestinian elderly man was martyred on Sunday morning when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him in Jenin refugee camp, north of the West Bank.
The Red Crescent said that an ambulance crew evacuated the body of an elderly man to a hospital in Jenin City after he was shot dead by Israeli forces at the main entrance of Jenin camp.
The Palestinian health ministry identified the martyr as 73-year-old Waleed Lahlouh.
His family said that Lahlouh went to check on his house in Jenin camp and bring some of his needs when he was shot dead in cold blood by one of the IOF snipers who were deployed inside citizens’ homes.
The new martyr has brought to 25 the number of the Palestinian citizens killed by the IOF since its operation in Jenin province started 13 days ago.
Meanwhile, the IOF forced more families to evacuate their homes in Jenin camp, while local officials said that about 100 homes had been completely destroyed by Israeli forces during their ongoing operation in Jenin camp.
In a related context, hospitals and 35 percent of the citizens in Jenin City have been suffering from severe water shortage after the IOF destroyed water pipelines in their neighborhoods.
