Ramallah, July 11 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank, Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian man Monday, alleging he threw a handmade explosive device at soldiers and fired on them at a checkpoint outside an illegal Israeli settlement west of Ramallah.
Eyewitnesses disputed the account by Israel’s military, saying 33-year-old Bilal Ibrahim Qadah was shot from behind as he drove his car. Witnesses also said Israeli soldiers blocked paramedics from reaching Qadah, leaving him to bleed to death.
Nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire this year, including 33 children.
