Palestinian killed, 3 wounded during Israeli West Bank raid

KIFI

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Palestinian Health Ministry says a Palestinian youth died shortly after being wounded by Israeli gunfire in the occupied West Bank as Israeli-Palestinian tensions surge. The ministry said early Friday that the 19-year-old suffered a mortal wound in the neck, while three others were wounded by gunshots in their limbs. It happened as Israeli forces pushed into Jenin refugee camp for an arrest raid. Earlier, the Israeli military said Jewish settlers stormed through a Palestinian town in the West Bank on Thursday, throwing stones at Palestinian cars and using pepper spray on troops who were trying to disperse the settlers. Critics accuse Israel of turning a blind eye to settler violence against Palestinians, while being heavy-handed with Palestinian assailants or protesters.
