RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories: A Palestinian man was killed by the Israeli military during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Rafiq Riyad Ghannem, 20, was "shot by the occupation (Israeli army)" near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, the ministry said in a statement, adding that he was killed in the town of Jaba.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On Sunday, a 17-year-old Palestinian died after being shot a day earlier in another Israeli army raid in the same town. At least 50 Palestinians have been killed since late March, mostly in the West Bank, among them suspected militants and non-combatants.
