Israeli forces kill Palestinian in West Bank raids, Palestinian medics say
Israeli forces killed an 18-year-old Palestinian man in dawn raids on Tuesday in the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, Palestinian hospital sources said, as violence in the Israeli occupied territory simmers.
The Israeli military said it responded with live fire to suspects who threw rocks at soldiers in Ramallah who were demolishing houses of militants responsible for a deadly shooting attack in January.
Violence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem was already on the rise before the war in Gaza erupted, but it has since escalated, with stepped-up Israeli military raids, settler violence and Palestinian street attacks.
