The Palestinian Red Crescent has said it received the body of a man who, according to his cousin, was killed overnight by Israeli forces during a raid in the occupied West Bank village of Jit, AFP reports.
“Our teams received the body of a martyr from the Israeli forces at the entrance to the village of Jit near Qalqilya and are currently transferring it to the hospital,” the medical organisation said in a statement.
It added that it had received “no information” on the circumstances of the man’s death from Israeli forces, who frequently hold on to the bodies of Palestinians killed during army raids.
