Undercover Israeli forces on Thursday shot dead a Palestinian during a hospital raid in the occupied West Bank city of Al-Khalil, witnesses and hospital staff said.
Abdullah Azzam Shalaldah, 28, was shot several times by forces who raided the surgery unit of al-Ahli hospital in order to detain his cousin, Azzam Ezzat Shalaldah, 20, who was shot by an Israeli settler last month, hospital staff told Ma’an.
Witnesses said that around 20 undercover Israeli soldiers entered the hospital at 3:00 a.m. and tied up Azzam when Abdullah, who was in the bathroom at the time, entered the room and was shot dead on scene.
The undercover forces then retreated from the hospital with Azzam, taking him into custody, witnesses added.
