Hebron, Palestinian Territories: Three Palestinians were shot dead in Hebron and Ramallah yesterday.
A Palestinian was shot dead during clashes yesterday with the army in Hebron, Palestinian medics said.
Hassan Al Bo, 21, died after being hit in the heart by live ammunition, an official at Al Ahli Hospital said.
Soldiers also shot dead a man near the West Bank city of Ramallah yesterday, the Palestinian health ministry said.
A statement announced “the death of a young man, Lafi Yusuf Awad, 22 years old, from the village of Budrus in the district of Ramallah, (killed) by a bullet from Israeli forces”.
Earlier, a Palestinian teenager in Hebron succumbed to his wounds after being shot by troops a day earlier.
An Israeli father and son were also killed in clashes yesterday.
Along the Gaza border, 17 people were hit when Israeli soldiers shot at demonstrators inside the enclave, emergency services there said. Altogether, more than 270 Palestinians were treated during clashes on Friday, the Palestinian Red Crescent said, around 100 with bullet and rubber bullet wounds and the rest after inhaling tear gas.
Violence since the start of October, including a wave of Palestinian knife, gun and car-ramming attacks, has killed 81 people on the Palestinian side — including one Israeli Arab — and 12 Israelis. The violence was originally focused in and around Jerusalem but has recently shifted to Hebron and its surrounding areas.
