Palestinian killed by Israeli army in West Bank

JENIN, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian was killed on Wednesday by Israeli army fire in the occupied West Bank, according to the Health Ministry.
A ministry statement said the fatality occurred in the town of Ya’bad in the northern West Bank after a Palestinian succumbed to critical injuries he sustained from Israeli fire.
Israeli forces earlier raided the town of Ya’bad to arrest a Palestinian, triggering clashes with angry residents during which Israeli soldiers used live fire, rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters, eyewitnesses said.
Tension has been running high across the West Bank in recent weeks amid repeated Israeli raids to detain what they say "wanted Palestinians" or to demolish Palestinian homes. The raids spark clashes with Palestinians, causing several fatalities.
