Israeli occupation forces kill Palestinian in West Bank

RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories — Israeli guards killed a Palestinian near a settlement in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health officials said Sunday.

Karam Ali Ahmad Salman, 18, was shot dead by "the Israeli occupation near the settlement of 'Kedumim'", the Palestinian health ministry reported.

The Palestinian health ministry reported that Kedumim was built on privately-owned Palestinian land.

Salman is one of at least 34 Palestinians killed in the West Bank this month, according to an AFP tally based on official sources from both sides.

The Palestinian health ministry also announced on Sunday a 24-year-old man, Omar Tariq Ali Al Saadi, died from wounds sustained Thursday during an Israeli raid on Jenin.

Nine other Palestinians had been killed in Jenin on Thursday in the deadliest West Bank raid by Israeli forces in nearly two decades.

Separately, on Sunday a Jerusalem hospital spokeswoman said a Palestinian had died after being wounded during clashes with Israeli forces last week.

The Palestinian died on Friday night, the Shaare Zedek hospital spokeswoman told AFP, without immediately providing the person's name or age.
