Israeli officers injured, Palestinian man martyred in alleged car-ramming incident

The illegal Zionist entity has martyred a Palestinian man amid tensions over the regime’s illegal settlement expansion plans and forced expulsion of Palestinian families from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of al-Quds.

WAFA, also known as the Palestine News Agency, citing witnesses, said Israeli troops fatally shot a young man and injured another on Friday morning after opening fire at a passenger car in Umm al-Fahm, 20 km northwest of Jenin.

Identified as Fathi Mohammed Fathi Jabrin, the victim succumbed to his wounds on the spot, the report noted. The other man was detained by the Israeli regime forces in an injured state for interrogation.

The Israeli police, meanwhile, said in a statement that the two of its officers were injured in a car-ramming attack in Umm al-Fahm.

It claimed that one of the officers was in a light-to-moderate condition, while the second was mildly hurt.

The development came hours after gunfire was reported in the Aghbariya neighborhood of Umm al-Fahm, and multiple buildings were set aflame in response to the murder of a 33-year-old man there on Thursday.

Zionist regime troops have also arrested six Umm al-Fahm residents in connection with protests in the city.
