<div id="BODYdiv">HEBRON (Ma&#8217;an) &#8212; The family of Anas Fouad al-Atrash, who was shot dead by Israeli forces overnight Friday, rejects Israeli claims that he tried to stab a soldier, instead insisting he was assassinated in cold blood.</p>
<p>Al-Atrash, 23, was shot dead at the Container checkpoint by Israeli border guards.</p>
<p>Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the incident occurred around midnight, when a man ran at a border police officer with a knife, prompting him to open fire.</p>
<p>His family says Anas and his brother were on their way back from Jericho when he was stopped at the military checkpoint near Bethlehem.</p>
<p>Israeli forces asked him to get out of the car, before shooting him dead, they say.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Israeli army assassinated Anas after they forced him to get out of the car,&#8221; his family told Ma&#8217;an.</p>
<p>Ismail, his brother, was wounded in the incident and is being treated for shock in al-Ahli hospital. He says that his brother was assaulted before being shot dead by Israeli forces.</p>
<p>Palestinian security sources told Ma&#8217;an that the military liaison office will form a committee to investigate al-Atrash&#8217;s death.</p>
<p>They will ask Israel to check footage from security cameras positioned at the checkpoint.</p>
<p>Thousands of people will attend al-Atrash&#8217;s funeral after Friday prayers in Hebron.</p>
<p>Hours earlier, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man at the Zaatara checkpoint in southern Nablus.</p>
<p>The 20-year-old man from Nablus was shooting fireworks at Israeli soldiers, who responded by shooting the Palestinian to death, witnesses said.</p>
