A young Palestinian man has died after being shot by Israeli forces during raids in the occupied West Bank cities of Ramallah and el-Bireh, Al Jazeera reports.

We reported earlier that four people were shot and a fifth was run over by an Israeli military vehicle during the predawn raids, which were carried out as Israeli forces stormed neighbourhoods in the nearby cities to locate and demolish the homes of Palestinian prisoners.

The Wafa news agency identified the victim as Moataz Sarsour, a resident of the Am’ari refugee camp, which is located in the Ramallah and el-Bireh areas. Shot in the chest, Sarsour died of his injuries at the Palestine Medical Complex, Wafa reports.
