On Tuesday, an off duty Israeli Border Police officer shot and killed a young Palestinian man near the town of Al-Ezzariyya, east of Jerusalem.

According to Israeli forces, the Palestinian had opened fire at Israeli colonial settlers near the entrance to the colony of Ma’ale Adumim, built on lands stolen from Palestinians living mainly in Al-Ezzariya. The sources claimed that six Israelis were wounded before an off-duty Israeli officer shot and killed the shooter.

Among those injured were a 40 year old male in serious condition and a 28 year old male in moderate condition.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the young man who was killed as Mohannad Mohammad Suleiman Al-Mazra’a, 20 years old.
