June 19, 2023: Zakariya Mohammad Zakariya Za’oul, 20, was killed by Israeli soldiers who also shot and injured two young men after the army invaded Husan, west of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed Zakariya after shooting him with a live round in the head.
It added that Palestinian medics rushed the young man to a hospital in Bethlehem but succumbed to his serious wounds.
