Ahlul Bayt News Agency - The Israeli occupation police at dawn Sunday shot dead a Palestinian young man in cold blood near Bab al-Amoud area in the Old City of Jerusalem, claiming he stabbed a Jewish settler and wounded him.
Local sources said that Israeli policemen fired seven bullets at 19-year-old Fadi Alloun, an athlete from Issawiya district, and killed him immediately.
A video recording posted on the Internet also showed the cold-blooded shooting of the young man as several settlers gathered at the scene shouting "death to Arabs."
The Israeli police justified the killing of the young man by saying that some of its men opened fire at him after he stabbed a young settler near Bab al-Amoud area and tried to escape.
They also claimed that the settler was rushed to Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem.
Scores of Jewish settlers last night stormed under police protection several Palestinian neighborhoods in Occupied Jerusalem and attacked citizens and their property.
A large number of settlers also organized yesterday several anti-Arab marches and sit-ins in different areas of Jerusalem and harassed Palestinian passers-by.
