Palestinians: Israeli forces shoot man dead during clashes
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Palestinian Health Ministry says Israeli forces have shot and killed a Palestinian man during clashes in the West Bank. The ministry identified the man as Mohammed Abu Ayhour, 27, from the village of Halhul in the southern West Bank. The military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the circumstances that led to Abu Ayhour’s death Thursday. A statement from the military said forces operated elsewhere in the West Bank, where they encountered violent protests and responded with live fire. Violence has swept the region for weeks, set off by a spate of Palestinian attacks in Israel that prompted near-daily Israeli arrest raids in the West Bank.
