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.
The Israeli military confirmed the use of live rounds but not the fatality.
