A Palestinian was killed in a clash with Israelis in the occupied West Bank on Friday, Palestinian security sources and Israeli emergency workers said. Israeli and Palestinian sources offered differing accounts of the incident near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

 

Palestinian security sources said the Palestinian was killed by Israeli soldiers. They said the victim was a hunter.

 

According to Reuters, Israel's ZAKA emergency service said the Palestinian was killed by armed Israeli settlers who had come under attack.
