Hundreds marched on Thursday (June 2) in funeral processions of two Palestinians out of three killed by the Israeli army in the West Bank in 24 hours.
The Israeli military said in a statement that troops carrying out an arrest raid in Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem and opened fire when locals threw homemade bombs and rocks at them. It was not clear whether the man killed, a father of three, was involved in the confrontations.
A day earlier, In the West Bank village of Yabad, another Palestinian was killed during clashes with Israeli soldiers when the military entered the village to demolish the house of a Palestinian gunman who had shot dead five people in an Israeli city on March 30.
It was not immediately clear whether he had taken part in the confrontation.
Violence in territories where Palestinians seek statehood has simmered since U.S.-sponsored peace talks stalled in 2014.
It has flared since January, with Israeli raids that have killed at least 46 Palestinians and Arab street attacks that have killed 19 people in Israel and the West Bank.
