Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in West Bank unrest

The army said the bus company was linked to militants from the Islamist group Hamas and had mobilized Palestinians for violent demonstrations.

Troops shot 21-year-old Yehya Taha in the head, according to Palestinian health ministry spokesman Mohammed Awawdeh, and the youth later died of his wounds in a Ramallah hospital.

The Palestinian president said the Israeli government has foiled all chances of achieving peace, and has effectively destroyed the foundations of all political, security and economic agreements signed with the Palestinian Authority.

The two deaths were the latest in a two-month wave of violence.

Security forces have increased road patrols, made more raids and arrests, and introduced new checks on Palestinian motorists before they are allowed to use the same roads as Israelis.

Yaalon told lawmakers that construction will take a year.

Israeli emergency services stand next to a auto of an alleged Palestinian attacker near Kfar Adumim settlement in the West Bank, Friday, Nov 27, 2015.

The Palestinians opened fire at the force and “in response to the immediate danger, forces fired toward the attackers”, the statement said.

“We must achieve a two-state solution with a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital”, he said.

Also in Nablus, Israeli forces impounded eight buses, the owner of the vehicles said. The protesters also demand an end to Israel’s decades-long military occupation of the Palestinian territories and the cessation of settlement building, both of which are illegal under global law.

And in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday that radical Islam is responsible for terrorism around the world.

Israel has said the unrest stems from incitement by Palestinian leaders. That law imposes a minimum sentence of three years on rock throwers, and can strip them and the parents of minors of losing social security benefits.
