Second Palestinian said killed in West Bank clashes

The Palestinian Health Ministry says a man has been shot dead by Israeli troops during clashes in the Qalandiya refugee camp north of Jerusalem, the second Palestinian fatality today in the West Bank.

The ministry identifies him as Alaa Shaham, a man in his 20s, and says he was shot in the head by live fire.

Another six Palestinians were wounded by live fire, the ministry says.

The Israeli army does not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Qalandiya incident.

Earlier, a Palestinian was killed in the northern West Bank when shots were fired at a Border Police force.
