A Palestinian was killed on Friday (April 1st) by Israeli gunfire in Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported. Clashes broke out in the center of this city between Palestinian residents and Israeli forces, noted an AFP journalist.

The 29-year-old Palestinian was killed “live ammunition”, said the Ministry of Health. He was identified as Ahmad al-Atrash, a former detainee who spent six years in an Israeli prison, according to the official Palestinian agency Wafa. This death comes as deadly violence has been taking place for the past ten days in the occupied West Bank and Israel. The Israeli military did not immediately comment.

The Palestinian Red Crescent also said it treated 70 people injured in clashes with the Israeli army in the Nablus area in the northern West Bank. The Israeli army has deployed reinforcements in the occupied territory.
