[Thursday at dawn December 19, 2013] Palestinian medical sources have reported that Israeli soldiers invaded the Qalqilia city, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, shot and killed a Palestinian security officer.

The sources said that Saleh Samir Yassin, 28 years of age, was shot in Nazzal neighborhood in Qalqilia, after dozens of soldiers invaded it.

Eyewitnesses said that Yassin was executed in cold blood, and that the soldiers left him bleeding on the ground, and prevented local medics from providing him with the urgently needed care and move him to hospital.

Responding to the claims of the Israeli military that Yassin was armed with a pistol, Palestinian security sources said that Yassin is a security officer, therefore, it is to be expected that he was armed.

Qalqilia Governor, Abdullah Kamil, said that the officer was shot and killed by undercover soldiers of the Israeli army.

Kamil denounced the execution of the officer and said that Israel is trying to drag the region into a new cycle of violence, and is trying to enrage the Palestinians against the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).

Yassin’s body was moved to the UNRWA Hospital in Qalqilia, while his funeral procession will be held on Thursday afternoon.

On Wednesday at night, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a young Palestinian man in Jenin, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, and injured seven Palestinians.

The slain Palestinian, identified as Nafe’ Jamil Sa’dy, 22, was also shot and killed by the undercover forces of the Israeli army.
