Young man killed and his brother injured in a shooting crime in Silwan town, Jerusalem

SadaNews - A young man was killed, and his brother was injured in the early hours of Tuesday in a shooting crime that occurred in Silwan town, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.

Local sources reported that the young man, Hussein Isa, was killed after being shot during a brawl that involved gunfire in the Batn al-Hawa neighborhood in Silwan, while his brother, Mohammed, was shot in the foot and was taken to the hospital for treatment, where his injury was described as moderate.

The Palestinian towns and neighborhoods within the 1948 territories and occupied Jerusalem are witnessing an increase in murder and violence crimes, amidst the spread of weapons and the Israeli police's failure to pursue criminal gangs. This has been confirmed by Palestinian institutions and popular committees, which assert that it has contributed to the exacerbation of crime and the rising number of its victims.
