Israeli forces have killed
two more Palestinians and injured dozens of others as tensions continue
unabated in the occupied West Bank and the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Palestine’s
Ma’an agency said Israeli forces shot the Palestinian, whom they
accused of attempting to slam his car into the military forces during a
demonstration near the town of Silwad northeast of Ramallah.
Israeli media said the victim, identified as Muhammad Abd al-Rahman Ayyad, 21, was trying to ram his car into the entrance of the illegal Israeli settlement of Ofra located south of Silwad. This

northeast of Ramallah, occupied West Bank, on December 18, 2015.Reports,
however, said that the Israelis opened fire at the man after his car
bumped into a concrete barricade, adding that the Palestinian and his
vehicle posed no threat at the time of the shooting.
The attack
came hours after Israeli forces opened fire and injured a Palestinian
motorist in Qalandiya near Ramallah. Israelis said the man was
attempting to attack a military checkpoint there.
Elsewhere in the
Gaza Strip, Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian protester as
clashes erupted during an anti-Tel Aviv demonstration.
The Gazan
Health Ministry identified the victim as 20-year-old Mahmud al-Agha.
Some 41 Palestinians were also wounded during the scuffles.
The
Friday assaults are the latest in a string of violence in the occupied
territories, which has left nearly 130 Palestinians dead since early
October. Israeli
forces inspect the car of a Palestinian driver who allegedly attempted
to ram his vehicle into Israeli troops at the Qalandiya checkpoint near
Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on December 18, 201 Israeli
troops on Thursday killed 15-year-old Abdullah Hussein Nasasra at the
Huwwara military checkpoint near Nablus, accusing the teenager of
attempting to stab an Israeli soldier.
On Friday, the UN Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs voiced concerns over the
excessive use of force and “extrajudicial killing” of Palestinians by
Israeli forces. The body said that circumstances surrounding several of
the Palestinian deaths over the past weeks remain disputed.
Tensions
have been simmering in the occupied territories since the Israeli
regime’s imposition of restrictions in August on the entry of
Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds
(Jerusalem).
Palestinians are angry at increasing violence by
Israeli settlers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and their attacks on
Palestinian properties, saying the Tel Aviv regime seeks to change the
status quo of the compound.
On Wednesday, Israeli rights group
B’Tselem censured the regime’s military for using “excessive and
unwarranted” force in killing Palestinians, saying this was tantamount
to “summary execution.”
