Israeli troops kill West Bank Palestinian

Israeli troops killed a Palestinian during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday in what his family called an unprovoked shooting but the army described as return fire.
As part of near-nightly security sweeps mounted after a series of lethal Palestinian street attacks in Israeli cities, the army carried out arrests and searches in several locations.
The victim, Younis Tayeh, 21, had left the family home in Tubas village to try to find his uncle after hearing that he had been detained, Tayeh’s twin brother Hussein told Reuters.
The army said in a statement that an improvised explosive device was thrown and shots fired at soldiers, who returned fire. There were no Israeli casualties. It said, one person had been arrested in Tubas and 24 elsewhere.
