Israeli forces kill Palestinian security officer at checkpoint

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian security officer and injured another at a checkpoint south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank late on Tuesday, Wafa cited intelligence officials as saying.

The Palestinian news agency identified the slain officer as Ahmad Abdel Fattah Daraghmeh, saying, "the occupation army and settler gangs" killed him in "cold blood".

Wafa said Daraghmeh's body was handed to the Palestinian Authority later in the night, and was transported to Rafidia Surgical Hospital in Nablus.
