Palestinian man (21) killed in clashes with Israeli troops in West Bank

The troops responded with teargas grenades and live fire at a Palestinian that hurled a fire bomb.

Yehya Taha, 21, was shot in the head and later died, according to Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Mohammed Awawdeh.

“An attacker got out of a taxi with a knife” at Tapuah junction, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said in a statement.

Three Palestinian men have been shot dead by Israeli soldiers during clashes in the occupied West Bank. The military did not report any casualties or damage, nor did it not confirm that soldiers fired on the protesting Palestinians.

The officer told the website that he believed it is “a limited uprising, in which the Palestinians are aiming to change the existing situation”, and that he believes that the current wave of terror will continue for two further months.

“Israel has every right in the world to defend itself and it has an obligation to defend itself, and it will and it is”, Kerry said to reporters prior to a closed door meeting with Netanyahu.

Palestinians carry a wounded friend during fighting in the West Bank on October 30.

Yaalon told lawmakers that construction will take a year. The fence will have similar technology as the recently constructed Israeli fence on the Egyptian frontier meant to prevent infiltration by militants and African migrants. Egypt is now struggling to put down an Islamic insurgency in the volatile north of its Sinai Peninsula, which borders Israel.

Also on Thursday, Israeli troops seized eight public transportation buses in the West Bank city of Nablus, according to drivers at the Al Tamimi company.

A senior Israeli official on Thursday was dismissive about the misgivings being sounded by the military, saying there was no internal division over how to tackle Palestinian violence.

Israeli medics said they were treating and evacuating to hospital a 20-year-old in serious condition with stab wounds to his torso.

Kerry had hoped to mediate gestures that would ease tensions in his separate talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and president Mamud Abbas.

The violence was sparked following unrest surrounding the east Jerusalem flashpoint site of the al-Aqsa mosque, holy to both Jews and Muslims, and spread out to outbursts of violence throughout Israel and the Palestinian territories.

As stated by Wafa News, many Palestinians in Area C of the occupied West Bank, under complete Israeli occupation control, have no choice but to build without permits to be able to provide a shelter for their families, risking demolition of their residential structures by the IOF.
