Palestinian authorities announced that a 19-year-old Palestinian was killed today, Friday, during clashes with Israeli settlers who flocked to the town of Huwara in the occupied West Bank following the shooting of an Israeli family in their car there. Accounts vary regarding whether the victim was killed by an Israeli settler's gunfire or by soldiers' fire. The Palestinian News and Information Agency (Wafa) reported that settlers entered the town and spread along the main road, engaging in provocations and "attempts to attack citizens and their homes." It noted that a 19-year-old young man died in the hospital after suffering critical injuries due to gunfire from a settler. The Israeli army stated that dozens of settlers and residents from the town exchanged stone-throwing and that a Palestinian threw stones at soldiers who responded by firing shots. The army added in a statement that "an injury was recorded," implying that an individual was hit by soldiers' gunfire. A spokesperson stated that the army is not aware of whether a settler fired during the clashes.
