Israeli occupation forces murdered on Tuesday at noon Palestinian man at Qalandia Checkpoint north of occupied city of Jerusalem.
The infamous illegal Israeli checkpoint divides the occupied city of Jerusalem from the occupied West Bank, where the Qalandia Refugee Camp is located.
According to the Palestinian ministry of health, the Palestinian, who was murdered by the Israeli occupation forces, is Jihad al-Qaddoumi, 40.
Eyewitnesses said that Al-Qaddoumi, who was a clerk employed by the Palestinian Authority, was walking normally to pass through the checkpoint.
“Suddenly, we heard sounds of a couple of live bullets,” one of the eyewitnesses, who were also walking to pass through the checkpoint, said. “We looked around to see Jihad lying on the ground bleeding.”
Spokeswoman of the Israeli Police Luba al-Samri claimed that the Palestinian man approached an Israeli soldier, aiming to stab him.
One of the eyewitnesses, identified himself as Hassan Naim, completely denied the Israeli claim, stressing that the Palestinian man did not have any kind of weapons.
“If they [the Israeli soldiers] just wanted to neutralise him, why did they left him bleeding to death and prevented media to take video potages for him?” Naim asked. “All the pictures and videos for the incident were secretly captured,” he added.
