Al-Qassam Website - An Israeli colonial settler has shot dead a Palestinian civilian in the occupied Weast Bank city of Qalqilia on Friday, local sources reported.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported the martyrdom of 21-year-old Palestinian citizen Abdul Karim El-Sheikh at the hands of a terrorist Israeli settler after the slain Palestinian allegedly tried to stab the settler.

El-Sheikh's martyrdom brings to 80 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation troops and colonial settlers so far this year, including 15 children, four senior civilians and a detainee.
