A Palestinian killed by the occupation forces in Jericho.

A young man was killed at dawn on Tuesday during an Israeli occupation forces raid on the city of Jericho.

Medical sources announced to the official news agency, WAFA, that the young man, Muhammad Yahya Asi Jalaytah (20 years old), died of the wounds he was shot by the occupation forces during the storming of the Al-Arab neighborhood in the center of Jericho.

The Fatah movement in the Jericho region declared a general strike in mourning for the soul of the martyr Jalayta.

Israeli occupation forces stormed Jericho after midnight, firing live bullets and sound bombs at civilians in the Arab neighborhood in the center of Jericho. They also raided a civilian's home, during which a young man, Jalayta, was shot with live bullets and later pronounced dead.

The dead's body will be buried this afternoon from his family's home on Hisham Palace Street in central Jericho to the old Jericho mosque and then to his final resting place.
