Young Palestinian man Yazan Omar Khoseib, 23, from Tulkarm was fatally shot by the Israeli occupation forces at the northern entrance of Al-Bireh, Ramallah, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Friday.

According to Israeli media, the Israeli occupation opened fire on a Palestinian youth near Beitin, north of Ramallah, alleging that he attempted to carry out a stabbing.

The Israeli occupation forces arrested earlier in the day Kifah Nasser Alawneh from Jabaa near Khoseib's hometown.

This is the fifth Palestinian to be killed by the Israeli occupation forces in 48 hours, as the Palestinian Health Ministry announced on Thursday that three Palestinians were martyred by Israeli occupation forces in Jenin.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the occupation forces assassinated two resistance fighters in Jenin, Nidal Khazem and Yusef Shreim.

Local sources said that the special forces from the occupation forces shot two young men during the raid of Jenin, killing them instantly, while another young man was killed during the confrontations.

The Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced its clash with a special force of undercover soldiers that carried out an assassination of resistance fighters in the city center and targeted it with heavy bullets.

Later on, the Palestinian Ministry of Health updated the number of martyrs to 4, including a child, Omar Awadin, and reported several injured, during the Israeli aggression on Jenin.
