Palestinian Youth Martyred in Exchange of Fire with Zionist Patrol

A young Palestinian man was killed in an exchange of fire with a Zionist patrol north of Jericho in the occupied West Bank.

AFP said the exchange of fire happened at the Bekaot checkpoint in the occupied Jordan Valley on the second Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

“A Palestinian vehicle reached the Bekaot checkpoint, the terrorist in the car fired at soldiers,” who “responded and identified a hit,” a Zionist army statement claimed.

There has been lately sporadic Zionist violence against Palestinians under different pretexts.
