NABLUS, West Bank (AFP) — A Palestinian demonstrator was shot dead by Israeli troops in the northern West Bank on Sunday during a protest against the Gaza Strip offensive, medics and security officials said.

Mufid al-Walwil, 21, was killed when Israeli troops opened fire on a group of Palestinians who were throwing stones at them near the separation barrier in Qalqilya.

An army spokewoman confirmed that troops had opened fire after the Palestinians threw stones and "two flaming tyres" towards them during a "violent riot."

She said two demonstrators had tried to climb the barrier and had ignored warning shots fired by the soldiers.

"The soldiers aimed at their lower body and realised that they had hit one of them in the knee," she said.
