IDF Troops, Settlers Shoot Palestinians In West Bank, Killing 5

By REUTERS
LAST UPDATED: 07/25/2014 18:26

Palestinians killed in separate incidents Friday; tensions in West Bank continue after massive clashes on Thursday left one Palestinian dead.

Five Palestinians were killed in the West Bank on Friday in shootings involving both Israeli forces and a civilian who appeared to be a Jewish settler, Palestinian medics and witnesses said.

Three Palestinians were killed during clashes between Israeli forces shooting live bullets and protesters throwing stones near the flashpoint city of Hebron.

In a separate incident near another protest against the ongoing conflict in Gaza, witnesses said a person in a car believed to be a settler shot dead one man and wounded three others near the city of Nablus.

The victims were walking along a main street used by both Palestinians and settlers.

Clashes between Israeli border police and Palestinian youths throwing firebombs and fireworks escalated. A Reuters photographer witnessed the forces shoot and kill another man.

And who can blame the Palestinians. The West Bank has been quiet for years, and they get nothing.
