Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemns Israeli occupation’s premeditated killing of a Palestinian youth in West Bank

Occupied Al-Quds– The Palestinian Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned the Israeli occupation’s crime of killing a Palestinian youth in the town of Sebastia, north of the West Bank, describing the act as a premeditated killing.

Fawzi Hani Makhalfeh, 18, was killed and Mohammad Mukheimar was wounded and detained after Israeli occupation forces last night opened fire at a car with two Palestinian teenagers inside in Sebastia, WAFA News Agency reported.

“The firing of a hail of bullets at the vehicle they were traveling in reflects the Israeli hatred, aggressive policy, racism, and premeditated killing, which makes every Palestinian vehicle a target that can be shot at regardless of who is inside it”,  the ministry in a statement.

It held the Israeli government fully responsible for this heinous crime of execution, calling for an international investigation into it and for bringing the perpetrators and those behind them to justice.

For his part, Speaker of the Palestinian national Council Rouhi Fattouh said that the crimes of execution against the Palestinian people reflect the terrorism that has been practiced by the occupation forces as an ideology based on killing and criminality.
