A Palestinian youth was killed Monday evening by the Israeli occupation army bullets near a military checkpoint east of the city of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, while sirens sounded in Israel due to a missile launched from the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the occupation army said that its forces shot 3 Palestinian men after they threw Molotov cocktails near the military checkpoint, east of Tulkarm, without any Israeli being injured.

 Immediately after the operation, the occupation forces closed the military checkpoint and began a search operation in search of the other two young men.

The official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that the Israeli army fired at 3 Palestinians who threw Molotov cocktails at an army post in the northern West Bank.

She explained that it was confirmed that "one of the Palestinians succumbed to his injury, while the other two fled."

Palestinian sources said that the young martyr is called Samir Hamidi.

In a related context, the Israeli army announced that a missile was launched Monday evening from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, without indicating any casualties.

Sirens sounded in southern Israel, bordering the Gaza Strip, to alert residents of the missile, which no Palestinian faction had claimed to have launched.

"A rocket shell was fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory," the occupation army said on its Twitter account in Arabic.

The last missile launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory dates back to September 15, coinciding with the signing at the White House of the two agreements to normalize relations between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain.
