RAMALLAH, Apr 09 (AFP): The Palestinian health ministry said on Thursday that Israeli forces fatally shot a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank a day earlier, while the Israeli military said an off-duty soldier fired at a stone-thrower.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry said 28-year-old Alaa Khaled Mohammed Sbeih "was shot and killed" by Israeli forces on Wednesday night near the village of Tayasir in the northern West Bank.
The military said troops were dispatched to the area on Wednesday "following a report of an incident between Palestinians and Israeli civilians, which included hurling rocks," adding that an Israeli and a Palestinian civilian were injured in the incident and taken to hospital.
