A 20-year-old Palestinian was killed and several others injured on Friday afternoon in clashes with Israeli soldiers near the West Bank city of Ramallah, medical sources said. The Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank said in an emailed press statement that a 20-year-old young Palestinian man was killed by an Israeli soldier’s gunfire. Eyewitnesses said that Israeli soldiers opened fire at dozens of Palestinian stones throwers in the village of al-Nabi Salleh northwest of Ramallah, adding that the young man was shot in his chest and dies shortly after he was taken to hospital. Every Friday, the Palestinians organize demonstrations against the Israeli security measures, the settlement, the wall and in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails who have been going on a hunger strike for 26 days. The eyewitnesses said that the soldiers fired tear gas canisters, rubber bullets and live ammunition to disperse the demonstrators. Dozens inhaled the tear gas, where similar protests and clashes broke out in other areas in the West Bank. Since October 2015, the Palestinians and Israelis have been going through a wave of violence which left 364 Palestinians and 47 Israelis dead, according to official figures.

醫療消息人士說，一名二十歲的巴勒斯坦人星期五下午遇害，幾人受傷，與西岸城市拉馬拉附近的以色列士兵發生衝突。西岸的巴勒斯坦衛生部在一封電子郵件的新聞稿中說，一名20歲的年輕巴勒斯坦男子被以色列士兵的槍聲炸死。目擊者說，以色列士兵向拉馬拉西北部的Nabi Salleh村的數十名巴勒斯坦石塊投擲者開火，並指出，這名年輕人被送到胸前，在被送往醫院後不久便死亡。每個星期五，巴勒斯坦人組織示威遊行，打擊以色列的安全措施，定居點，隔離牆，並聲援已經絕食26天的以色列監獄中的巴勒斯坦囚犯。目擊者說，士兵們發射了催淚瓦斯，橡皮子彈和實彈，以驅散示威者。幾十人吸入了催淚瓦斯，西岸其他地區發生類似的抗議活動和衝突。官方數據顯示，自2015年10月以來，巴勒斯坦和以色列人正在經歷一波暴力事件，造成364名巴勒斯坦人和47名以色列人死亡。
