Palestinian dies after shot by IDF near Beitar Illit

Palestinian security sources say a 32-year-old man was killed in clashes near the village of Husan, near the West Bank settlement of Beitar Illit, Ynet reports.

The IDF spokesperson’s unit says that roughly 50 Palestinians gathered and threw stones and Molotov cocktails at soldiers, who returned fire with rubber-coated bullets. One of the rioters was injured and apparently succumbed to his wounds.

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem a truck driver rammed a motorcyclist and drew a knife before being chased by police. Shots were fired at the truck. Police say they arrested two suspects.
