Israeli army kills Palestinian near Hebron

The Israeli military fatally shot a Palestinian near al-Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Several Palestinians have been shot and killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since Friday amid ongoing protests.

Palestinian news agency Wafa identified the victim as Wajdy Walid Jaarfa, saying that his vehicle had come under heavy Israeli fire from a nearby military tower.

According to Wafa, Israeli forces had blocked medics from reaching Jaarfa after he was hit, and he subsequently died on the scene.

More than 360 Palestinians were injured in the West Bank on Saturday, including 63 by live ammunition, as Israel cracked down on protesters, Arab48 news website reported, citing health authorities.
