Israeli occupation forces sources shot dead a Palestinian civilian after he purportedly rammed his vehicle into them, injuring five near Jericho in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.

The slain Palestinian has been identified as Barakat Mousa Odeh, 49, a married father of six children and a taxi driver from Al-Ezariya town, east of occupied Jerusalem.

Odeh was shot while driving near Nabi Mousa Junction, south of Jericho, and suffered life-threatening injuries before he was pronounced dead.

A video circulating on the internet has shown the Israeli occupation soldiers summarily executing the Palestinian car driver.
