Paleostinian health officials said a Paleostinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces during festivities in the Qalandiya refugee camp north of Jerusalem. Police said Israeli forces raided the camp to arrest two terror suspects wanted by the Shin Bet.
"Alaa Shaham, a twenty-something young man, was shot in the head by live fire," the PA Health Ministry said.
Another six Paleostinians were maimed by live fire, the ministry said.
Clashes erupted at the scene of one of the arrests, during which "hundreds" of Paleostinians hurled heavy objects from rooftops, police said.
"Undercover Border Police troops responded with riots dispersal means and live fire, and completed the mission without casualties to our forces," police said in a statement.
No police or military casualties were reported.
