Local Editor

A Palestinian was shot dead by "Israeli" occupation forces on Friday afternoon during clashes at Jabal al-Tawil east of el-Bireh near Ramallah, following a protest close to the nearby Zionist settlement of Psagot, Maan news agency reported.
He was at least the 16th Palestinian to be killed by "Israelis" in the West Bank in the last month, as forces have repeatedly attacked tens of thousands partaking in protests in solidarity with the Gaza Strip.

Also on Friday, "Israeli" forces injured at least 50 Palestinians in protests across the West Bank, including 40 in Hebron alone, where hundreds marched through the Bab al-Zawiya neighborhood in the city center in solidarity with Gaza.
"Israeli" forces used live bullets and rubber-coated steel bullets to disperse Palestinian demonstrators in Safa, near Ramallah, as well as in Azzun, near Qalqiliya.

"Israel" has killed 1,898 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since launching a massive assault on the tiny coastal enclave 33 days ago, and has injured nearly 10,000.

The assault has ignited protests across the West Bank as well as among Palestinians inside "Israel", who have demanded an end to the killing as well as supported demands that the eight-year "Israeli" blockade be lifted.
