Palestinian reported killed by Israeli fire in West Bank

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian health officials say a Palestinian man has been killed by Israeli gunfire in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry said the shooting took place Tuesday during clashes in Nebi Saleh. The village has held numerous demonstrations over the years against the expansion of a nearby Israeli settlement on what they say is their land. The Israeli military said troops opened fire after dozens of Palestinians approached a military post and began throwing rocks. The death comes at a time of rising violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
