A Palestinian citizen was shot dead on Monday by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in al-Khalil, Palestinian medical sources said

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a brief statement that Ramzi Abu Yabes was shot and killed by the IOF in Beit Ummar town, north of al-Khalil city.

 

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that the IOF further kidnapped Abu Yabes's body from the ambulance that was taking him to the hospital, and transferred him to an undeclared destination by an Israeli military vehicle.

 

Local sources said that Abu Yabes, a resident of Dheisheh refugee camp who worked as a nurse at a Palestinian hospital in Bethlehem, is in his 30s.

 

The Hebrew website "0404" claimed that Abu Yabes was shot after he carried out a car-ramming attack in al-Khalil in which three Israeli soldiers were slightly injured.
