Jerucho /PNN/

Israeli occupation forces have killed another Palestinian following a car-ramming operation that left five settlers injured near the city of Jericho in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Information Center, quoting Israeli media, said following the Sunday attack the regime’s forces fatally shot the Palestinian man who was driving the car south of Jericho.

Later in the day, the Palestinian Health Ministry identified the man as Barakat Moussa Odeh, 49, from the village of al-Ezariya, east of the occupied city of al-Quds. It added that Odeh succumbed to the wounds he sustained from Israeli gunfire near the Nabi Moussa junction, south of Jericho.

Israeli medical sources said the injured soldiers and settlers suffered different injuries following the incident. They added that the driver first rammed some Israelis near Nabi Musa village and then continued driving and plowed into a bus stop at Almog Junction, injuring others. The injured settlers were evacuated to hospitals in occupied Jerusalem.
