Israeli occupation forces killed on Tuesday a young Palestinian in the southern West Bank.

The occupation forces hit Imad Jawabreh, 22, in the chest by bullets, AFP news agency quoted sources as saying.

The agency added that the attack took place during clashes between Palestinians and IOF on a main road near the southern city of Hebron.

An AFP correspondent said the incident took place near Kiryat Arba settlement on route 60, the main north-south road.

The Israeli army confirmed troops had opened fire at demonstrators who were stoning cars in the area.

The attack came as tensions mount between Palestinians and the Israeli occupiers in al-Quds after Zionist extremists called for praying in the holy al-Aqsa Mosque.
