- Story Text: One Palestinian critically wounded, and four others lightly injured during clashes with Israeli troops in a West Bank village.
Five Palestinians were wounded -- with one in critical condition -- during clashes with Israeli troops in a West Bank village on Monday night (August 31), Palestinian witnesses and Israeli media said.
One Palestinian was critically wounded when Israeli troops shot at him, after he hurled fire bombs towards an army post near the West Bank village of Jilazoon, Israeli sources reported.
An Israeli army spokeswoman told Reuters that three Palestinian gunmen hurled firebombs at an Israeli army post near the Israeli community of Beit El.
An IDF force on the scene fired and identified hitting one of the gunmen who received initial medical treatment on location by the forces there, and then was taken to hospital for further care.
According to Palestinian witnesses, four other men were also injured during clashes that erupted in the area.
Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war, and it is one of the territories the Palestinians want for a state. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
