Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, the Palestinian health ministry said.

"Samir Aouni Harbi Aslan, 41, was killed after he was wounded by a bullet of the Israeli occupation army that penetrated his chest during the aggression on Qalandia camp" for Palestinian refugees near Ramallah, the ministry said.

Aslan is the third Palestinian to have been killed in the West Bank in 24 hours, and the seventh since the start of the year.
