Israeli soldiers killed, late on Tuesday at night, a Palestinian man in the western area of Beit Ur at-Tahta, west of the central West Bank city of Ramallah, after the army attacked Palestinian workers in a crossing area of the Annexation Wall.

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers fired live rounds at the Palestinian, identfiied as Raed Yousef Jadallah, 39, who suffered serious wounds and bled to death after the soldiers refused to allow any Palestinian to approach him, the WAFA Palestinian News & Info Agency has reported.

In a statement, the Palestinian Health Ministry said the Palestinian Civil Coordination Office was informed by the Israeli side that the young man has died from his wounds.

The slain man is a married father of five children, Yousef, 13, Suad, 9, Amir, 7, and a newborn baby boy.

Update: Nearly at eleven at night on Tuesday evening, Raed called his son, Yousef, 13, to meet him at the western entrance of the village, as he usually did when the father comes back home late after work.

It is worth mentioning that the road has been blockaded by the army with sandhills since the year 2016.

Raed’s son, Yousef, went there with a friend, and after arriving near the western entrance, he could not see his father and tried calling his cellphone several times, before he walked further to see his father’s dead boy, soaked in blood and surrounded by Israeli soldiers.

The slain man is a married father of five children, Yousef, 13, Suad, 9, Amir, 7, and a newborn baby boy. He frequently arrives late from work due to Israeli roadblocks or other demands from his work.

Wajeeh Hilal Othman, the head of Beit Ur at-Tahta, described the fatal shooting as cold-blooded murder, especially since the man was just a worker heading back home to be with his family.

On Wednersday at dawn, the slain man, was identified as Raed Yousef Rashed Jadallah, 39. He lived in Beit Ur at-Tahta and bears a Jerusalem ID card, the Maan News Agency said.

The Palestinian was laboreres who worked in occupied Jerusalem, and was crossing one of the military-controlled crossing points, when the soldiers delivered the fatal shots.

Palestinian medics managed to obtain the corpse of the slain Palestinian man, and moved it to Palestinian Medical Complex in Ramallah.
