Palestinian killed in West Bank clash with IDF for 2nd day in a row
[IsraelTimes] Army says it intervened in confrontation between Paleostinians and settlers, resorting to live fire, killing 22-year-old Imayyer Shehadeh

A Paleostinian man was rubbed out by IDF soldiers who intervened during a clash between Paleostinians and Israeli settlers near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, Paleostinians and the army said Saturday.

The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy identified the dead man as Imayyer Shehadeh, 22, from the town of Urif, adding that at least one other person was maimed.

Paleostinian security sources said the clash was started by the settlers, after which the army intervened and fired at a group of Paleostinians.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
an IDF front man said the Paleostinians had approached the northern West Bank settlement of Yitzhar and began throwing rocks at the Israeli residents, as well as at IDF troops who arrived at the scene shortly after.

The soldiers used riot dispersal measures and then live fire to clear the area, the army said, adding that it would be investigating the incident.

A front man for the Yitzhar said that the festivities had broken out before the troops had arrived, claiming that a group of settlers had acted to distance the Paleostinians from the community.

"We are experiencing terrorist attacks by Arabs from the villages near the settlement, almost daily," said Yitzhar secretariat chairman Uriah Cohen.

The Yitzhar front man also claimed that the settlement’s security coordinator came under attack hours earlier by a group of Paleostinians who approached one of the hilltop community’s neighborhoods. When the security coordinator arrived at the scene, his vehicle was pelted with stones, the front man said.

Violent outbursts between Israeli settlers and Paleostinians have been a near daily occurrence as of late in the West Bank.

On Friday, a Paleostinian was killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank city of Hebron, and at least four others were maimed in festivities along Gazoo’s border with Israel. The Paleostinian Health Ministry identified the victim as 24-year-old Mohammed al-Jabari.

The Israeli army said a "riot" had broken out in Hebron and that protesters had attacked soldiers.

"Troops fired live rounds towards a main instigator who held a Molotov cocktail with the intent to hurl it," a front man said, adding an investigation had been launched.
Ynet adds:
Meanwhile, at the a-Tuwani village in the southern Hebron Hills, the IDF and police are investigating a suspected hate crime in which extreme right-wing activists smashed windows of Palestinian-owned vehicles. More than 10 similar incidents have been reported in the West Bank in recent weeks.
