Palestinian man shot dead by Israeli settlers

A Palestinian citizen was shot and killed by extremist Israeli settlers on Thursday in Nablus’s southern town of Qasra.

48-year-old Mahmoud Oudeh was fatally shot by Israelis at around noontime.

Qasra locals locked up some 15 Israeli settlers in a nearby cave at the same time as heavily-armed Israeli patrols showed up in the area to protect the Israeli assailants.

The Palestinian Liaison released the settlers and handed them over to the occupation army.
