Ramallah, December 12 (RHC)-- Israeli military forces have killed three more Palestinians amid growing tensions in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
In one of the incidents on Friday, a Palestinian protester lost his life during clashes with Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victim as 22-year-old Oday Ersheid, whose brother had also been killed at the hands of Israelis during similar clashes in October.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military shot and killed another Palestinian, identified as Issa Hroub, 55, near Hebron, claiming he had attempted to ram his car into Israeli forces at a checkpoint there. On the same day, another Palestinian was shot and injured by Israeli soldiers after he allegedly opened fire at the troops at the Gilboa crossing near Jenin.
In the besieged Gaza Strip, violent clashes broke out between Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli soldiers, who opened fire and killed a 41-year-old man. A spokesman for Gaza’s Ministry of Health said the victim, Sami Shawqi Madhi, was shot in the chest.
According to the ministry, nearly 70 Gazan protesters were also injured by Israeli forces, most of them with live ammunition.
