Forensic expert says Israeli forces killing of 19-year-old Palestinian ‘similar to an execution’

At around 3am on Tuesday morning, Israeli soldiers raided Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. As the soldiers tried to arrest a Palestinian man outside the camp, local youth tried to block them with rocks and Molotov cocktails. The Israeli soldiers fired tear gas and live bullets. Al-Ja‘fari was on the roof of his home when he was shot.
