Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian footballer and injured at least 24 other persons in the Nablus city of the west bank on Thursday.
Local sources identified the slain as Ahmad Atef Daraghma, 23, a resident of the northern West Bank city of Tubas, and a football player for the Thaqafi football club in Tulkarem.
As per media reports, he was hit by live rounds in the back and feet.
The Israeli occupation forces raided several parts of Nablus to protect settlers who stormed the site of Joseph's Tomb.
According to the Wafa news agency, the Israeli forces opened fire at young men attempting to block their passage, wounding five of them. Two sustained serious injuries from live ammunition, another was hit by a live round in the eye and two others were injured in the hand and head by rubber-coated steel bullets.
The Israelis also showered the young men with tear gas, causing 19 to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Settlers repeatedly break into Joseph's Tomb, located in a densely-populated Palestinian area in Nablus, provoking chaos and confrontations with residents.
The tomb is a memorial to Sheikh Yousef Dweikat, a local religious figure, although Israeli settlers claim that it is the grave of the Biblical Patriarch Joseph.
The number of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli gunfire in the occupied territories since the start of 2022 now stands at 224, including 53 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
