At least three Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces in Bethlehem and Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank and in Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
In Al-Quds city, a young man was shot dead by Israeli occupation police for allegedly carrying out a stabbing attack in the Bab al-Amoud area.
Forces reportedly attacked all those present in the vicinity of Bab al-Amoud and closed all entrances to the Old City and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
In Tulkarem, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said a youth was killed after being shot by Israeli forces near the Jabara military checkpoint.
The youth was identified as Mahmoud Sami Khalil, from Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip.

He was taken to a hospital in Israel, where he was pronounced dead.
In the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, Israeli forces last night shot dead a Palestinian young man, the Ministry of Health confirmed.
