Israeli forces kill Palestinian father on his way to take daughter to doctor
A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli forces on Thursday in a raid on the occupied city of Halhoul, north of Hebron, the Palestinian health ministry announced.
Twenty-seven-year-old Mahmoud Ayhour, from Halhoul in the occupied West Bank, was hit in the stomach by a live bullet during the Israeli raid, his relatives said.
"Israeli forces raided the city around 10:30am, at rush hour, when there is a maximum number of people on the streets," Jamal Abu Asbeh, the mayor of Halhoul told The New Arab.
"The Israeli soldiers took over some rooftops and fired rubber bullets and tear gas towards people. They were targeting a money exchange in the city centre, which the Israeli soldiers forced to close."
The mayor said some young men in the area confronted the Israeli soldiers with stones, who then fired live rounds at the Palestinian crowd.
A total of nine people were injured by live fire and rubber bullets, in addition to the killing of Ayhour.
