An "Israeli" soldier died following a shooting incident in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron) on Sunday evening.
The "Israeli" military stated that "The soldier was moved to the Shaare Zedek Hospital in al-Quds (Jerusalem), but died of his serious injury later on."
According to sources, the incident took place in center of the city close to Ibrahimi mosque, referred to by the "Israelis" as the Cave of the Patriarchs.
Earlier on Friday, a Palestinian kidnapped and killed an "Israeli" soldier near the northern West Bank city of Qalqiliya.
The body of the slain soldier, identified as 20-year-old Tomer Hazan, was found on Saturday morning.
"Israeli" soldiers completely sealed the entire area, including the Ibrahimi mosque.
The "Israeli" army also closed all entrances of al-Khalil (Hebron), installed dozens of roadblocks in the district, stopped and searched hundreds of Palestinian cars while inspecting the ID cards of the residents.
The Maan News Agency has reported that the army broke into and violently searched dozens of Palestinian homes in the area, and violently assaulted dozens of civilians, in their homes, before rounding up all males.
The agency added that approximately 150 young Palestinians were rounded up at the Tareq Ben Ziad Junction in the city. Most of them were released later on, but at least 15 were moved to an interrogation facility.
Furthermore, the army stopped a Palestinian ambulance transporting a woman in labor to a local hospital, and refused to allow the ambulance through.
The shooting of the soldier took place following clashes between dozens of residents and the soldiers after the army forced shut all Palestinian shops and stores in Bab Az-Zawiya area.
