[IsraelTimes] PA health ministry reports Jamil Abu Ayyash was shot in the head; military says aware of reports Paleostinian killed during violent mostly peaceful protest

A Paleostinian man in his 30s was killed by live fire during festivities with Israeli soldiers near the West Bank town of Beita, the Paleostinian Authority health ministry reported Friday.

Paleostinian media reports identified the man as Jamil Abu Ayyash.

According to the health ministry, Ayyash was shot in the head. Paleostinians evacuated him to the Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where he died of his wounds.

Four other Paleostinians were maimed by rubber-coated bullets, according to the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy. Another 63 Paleostinians were treated for minor injuries from tear gas inhalation and falling over during the protest, the medical service said.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that soldiers and Border Police officer responded to a violent mostly peaceful protest near the Evyatar outpost. Hundreds of Paleostinians took part in the festivities, including some who burned tires and threw stones at troops, according to the IDF.

The military said it was aware of reports regarding a Paleostinian killed.

Beita residents have been holding regular protests near neighboring Evyatar for the past several months in protests of the illegal outpost’s establishment on what they say is private Paleostinian land. Israeli authorities have not yet determined whether that is the case, but have not objected to the outpost’s illegal establishment.

The wildcat community initially consisted of several dozen Israeli families and homes, but they agreed to vacate in a July agreement with the government, which saw the outpost illegal structures remain intact and the army establish a permanent presence on the hilltop.

Meanwhile,

the protests continue. More than 700 Paleostinians have been injured and with Friday’s reported death, the number of Paleostinians killed since the unrest erupted in May climbed to at least nine, according to the PA health ministry.
