ELDERLY MAN SHOT IN HEAD, KILLED BY ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES

Salah Tawfiq Sawafta, aged 58 or 60 according to different reports, was shot in head by Israel's occupation forces when he was walking home from a mosque after dawn prayers in the city of Tubas, in the northeastern part of Palestine's Israeli occupied West Bank.

A video allegedly shows his last moment before being shot: He is walking on a street beside a building - perhaps housing a cafe based on how it appears - while it's still dark, and he appears to be making for an entrance to the establishment as sound of shots are ringing. The video cuts out as he seems to crouch or crumble.

Sawafta was given first aid by Palestinian medics on the scene, and taken to a Palestinian hospital where he underwent surgery, but he succumbed to his injuries.

A young man was also shot by Israeli occupation soldiers and wounded in thigh.

The shooting took place during Israeli occupation forces' invasion, during which Israeli occupation troops used both live and rubber-coated steel bullets, concussion grenades and tear-gas grenades. One person was arrested by Israeli occupation from Tubas and four from the town of Tammun, just south of Tubas.

Sawafta's daughter was going to get married on August 26th.
