Ramallah: A Palestinian was killed today by the Israeli occupation army's bullets in the city of Ramallah in the West Bank.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said, in a press statement, that the occupation forces opened fire at the citizen, Tariq Youssef, 42, near the village of Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah and killed him instantly.

This brings the number of Palestinian martyrs in the West Bank, shot by the Israeli occupation army since the beginning of this year, to 18, including four children.
