A Palestinian was killed by gunfire from Israeli soldiers on Thursday evening, October 14, in the occupied West Bank. The drama took place on the road through the tunnels connecting Jerusalem to Hebron, near the Palestinian village of Beit Jalla. According to the Palestinian agency Wafa, clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers during a military operation in Beit Jala. “Two suspects who had thrown incendiary bottles on the tunnel road, endangering the lives of drivers, were neutralized by soldiers. One of them was arrested and the other, shot and killed, died to his wounds “, the IDF said in a statement.
Clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians have increased in recent weeks in the West Bank, especially during Palestinian protests against Israeli colonization. Three Palestinians were killed on September 30 by Israeli forces in various incidents in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
