IDF looking into West Bank shooting reports
The IDF tells The Times of Israel it is looking into the reports of the Palestinian killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent tells the Palestinian Ma’an news agency that Qusay Umour was detained by Israeli forces after being shot three times and was only later handed over to the Palestinians for medical treatment, after he had died.
The report says it is unclear if Umour died while in Israeli custody or before his body was taken by troops.
