A Palestinian young man was shot dead by Israeli forces at Jaba checkpoint in eastern Al Quds under the pretext that he was plotting to run over Israeli soldiers, Palestinian media sources said on Thursday.

An Israeli soldier was injured in the incident, the sources added.

The Palestinian young man died of his bleeding caused by the Israeli fire, according to an eyewitness.

This is the third Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces today.
