Three Palestinians were killed on Friday in the occupied West Bank and in the Gaza Strip, one after allegedly attempting to run down Israeli soldiers and two in clashes with troops.
Palestinian youths clashed with Israeli forces near the northern entrance of the West Bank city of Hebron, and the soldiers responded with live fire, witnesses said. “Uday Jihad Irshaid, 22, was killed by live ammunition in his chest during clashes in Hebron,” a Palestinian Health Ministry statement said.
Also another Palestinian was killed in clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank flashpoint city of Hebron. And in the third attack, the military said troops shot and killed a Palestinian man who attempted to ram his car into Israeli security forces, according to the Israeli Defence Ministry.
