Israeli forces kill Palestinian in West Bank

  RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories, March 1, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli forces

in the occupied West Bank killed a Palestinian man and critically injured
another on Tuesday in a raid on a refugee camp, the Palestinian health
ministry said.

  Israeli forces "opened fire on Jenin camp," according to a statement from
the Palestinian health ministry.

  Palestinian security sources identified the man killed in Jenin Camp as
Abdullah Hosari.

  He was a former prisoner, Palestinian news agency Wafa said. A second man
was "critically wounded with live bullets to the head" and had been taken to
hospital for treatment, Wafa said.

  Last week, Israeli forces killed a 14-year-old Palestinian it said had been
throwing Molotov cocktails near the city of Bethlehem.

  Some 475,000 Jewish settlers live in the West Bank, alongside 2.9 million
Palestinians, in settlements widely regarded as illegal under international
law.
