73-year-old Palestinian man shot dead by Israeli forces

A 73-year-old Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli forces in Jenin refugee camp this morning, Wafa news agency is reporting, citing local and medical sources.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its crews recovered the body of Wadi Lahlouh from the entrance of the camp, transferring it to hospital.

Lahlouh's killing brings the total number of Palestinians killed since Israel launched its military assault on Jenin 13 days ago to 25.

According to Wafa, Israeli bulldozers have levelled around 100 homes in the camp, with local hospitals facing severe water shortages after Israeli forces damaged pipelines.

Around 35 percent of the city's population cannot access water.
