Israeli army fatally shoots Palestinian man in occupied West Bank

Israeli military also says it launched air raids on Gaza, the fourth since a May ceasefire reached with Hamas.

Israel’s army has fatally shot a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health agency said, as local media reported Israeli soldiers and settlers had opened fire in a village south of the city of Nablus. Palestinian news agency WAFA said a Palestinian man in his 20s was shot in the chest while standing on the roof of his home in Qusra, a village encircled by illegal Jewish settlements and settlement outposts. Two other Palestinians were also shot and injured “while fending off an attack” by Israeli settlers on the village, the news agency reported.
