Israeli forces kill Palestinian in West Bank arrest raid

Israeli security forces on an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank shot and killed a Palestinian on Wednesday when clashes broke out with residents, Palestinian sources said. A Palestinian witness told Reuters Israeli forces entered the village to carry out arrests in the village of Bruqin and that residents threw stones at the Israeli troops. The witness did not want to give his name for fear of arrest. A spokeswoman for the Israeli military described the stone-throwing as "a violent riot" and said troops had called on the crowd to stop hurling rocks before they opened fire at the main culprit.
