Israeli forces kill Palestinian

Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man and wounded at least eight others during an operation in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
The Israeli military said soldiers operating in the city of Tulkarm fired at suspects who shot at them, hurled explosives and rocks and blocked roads, and that “hits were identified”. It said a number of military vehicles were damaged but no injuries to the forces were reported.
The director of the Thabet Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarm, Amin Khader, said the man who was killed had sustained a gunshot wound in the chest and that at least eight other people were wounded.
The Fatah party, which dominates the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, identified the dead man as Mahmoud Jarrad. It said he was a member but it did not claim him as a fighter.
Violence in the West Bank has worsened over the past 15 months amid stepped-up Israeli raids, rampages by Jewish settlers on Palestinian villages and Palestinian street attacks.
