Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man along the Gaza-Israel border yesterday and three Palestinian men in clashes in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian officials said.
The Palestinian killed in Gaza was the first such fatality in what has recently become almost daily confrontations along the frontier after months of relative calm.
“The ongoing Israeli aggression against our people in Gaza, Jenin and other Palestinian cities will bring violence and escalation to the entire region,” Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesman for the Palestinian Presidency, said.
Health officials said 25-year-old Youssef Radwan was shot in the neck at the border and died in a hospital and that 11 more people were wounded in the violence.
Separately, three Palestinian men, ages 22, 23 and 24, were shot and killed by Israeli forces and at least 30 were wounded in clashes in Jenin, Palestinian officials said.
