Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed a Palestinian young man from Tobas when he approached a military roadblock east of Nablus on Sunday morning, eyewitnesses reported.

They said that the soldiers manning Al-Hamra road barrier detained the body of the youth and cordoned off the entire area.

They said that the soldiers deliberately fired at Ahmed Daraghme, 21, while walking near the barrier after they claimed he tried to assault them. The soldiers riddled his body with bullets killing him instantly then blocked movement on the barrier.

The IOF deploys more than 650 roadblocks in the West Bank cities, villages, and refugee camps turning them into isolated cantons.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)--

Hamas lawmakers in Nablus strongly denounced the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) for murdering Ahmed Muslamani near the Hamra roadblock east of Nablus in cold blood.

The deputies issued a press release on Sunday saying that the murder of Muslamani and before him Abu Rahma in Bilin displayed Israel's criminal nature and its insistence on the war of genocide against all Palestinians.

The IOF cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians provided yet another proof on Israel's savagery and disrespect of all international and humanitarian laws, they said.

The MPs furthermore charged that the killing of the young man reveals the lies about Israel easing measures on those roadblocks.
