Israeli occupation forces shot dead a Palestinian worker in the occupied city of Askalan in southern occupied Palestine.

Israeli media outlets claim that the martyr identified as Abdullah Sorour, 40, had stabbed a 37-year-old Israeli occupying soldier, slightly wounding him in the hand, before he was hideously executed.

The summary executions of unarmed Palestinian civilians perpetrated by the Israeli occupation authorities have escalated recently in the occupied Palestinian territories to terrorize them.

Last March, the periodic report on the violations of the occupation in the West Bank issued by the Palestine Information Center "Mo'ata" documented the killing of 20 Palestinian civilians, and the injury of 612 others, women, children, and elders included.
