His family told the Anadolu news agency that al-Khatib had returned from Jordan two years ago to work and had no known security or armed group affiliation.<\/p>\n

His uncle Yassin Khatib described the killing as a \u201ccold-blooded execution\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the broken door and the damaged contents of the room, it was obvious they [Israeli forces] forced their way in without giving [al-Khatib] him time even to open the door or get dressed,\u201d Yassin Khatib told Anadolu.<\/p>\n

He said his nephew, who held both Jordanian and Palestinian citizenship, had lived on the property for four years, working in agriculture and construction.<\/p>\n

Relatives said Israeli troops prevented ambulances from reaching al-Khatib for nearly two hours.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military told the AFP news agency that its troops had fired at someone \u201cthrowing objects\u201d at soldiers during a raid in the area.<\/p>\n

The killing came alongside separate settler violence in Halhul, north of Hebron, where residents said Israeli settlers pelted Palestinian homes with stones after the dismantling of a nearby outpost. A local resident told Israeli news outlet Haaretz he saw about 35 masked settlers throwing stones at houses and trying to start fires.<\/p>\n

The violence came a day after another Palestinian<\/a>, Mohammad Nazem Zayed, was killed in Yabad, west of Jenin, after Israeli undercover agents besieged a house and shot him inside.<\/p>\n
