2 Palestinians shot dead by Israeli regime in West Bank

Israeli troops killed a Palestinian who tried to ram his car into Israeli occupation soldiers and wounded a second assailant who opened fire elsewhere in the occupied territory, the military said.

Also yesterday, another Palestinian was killed in clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank flashpoint city of Hebron.

The bloodshed is the latest in almost three months of near-daily Palestinian attacks on Israelis and other Israeli-Palestinian violence.

In one of yesterday’s attacks, the regime’s military claimed that troops shot and killed a Palestinian man who allegedly attempted to ram his car into Israeli security forces near Hebron. The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the assailant as Eisa Hroub, 55, from the nearby village of Deir Samet. There were no Israeli injuries.

No Israelis injured

Earlier in the day, a Palestinian gunman opened fire at soldiers at a West Bank border crossing before he was wounded and fled the scene, according to the Israeli defence ministry. There were no Israelis injured in the attack.

Also in Hebron, 22-yearold Palestinian Oday Ersheid died in clashes between stone-hurling youths and Israeli occupation soldiers, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Ersheid is the brother of high school student Dania Ersheid, who was shot dead by Israeli border police in late October in Hebron.
