RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces on Friday afternoon during clashes at Jabal al-Tawil east of el-Bireh near Ramallah, following a protest close to the nearby Jewish settlement of Psagot.

Medical sources told Ma’an that Ahmad Mohammad al-Qatari of al-Amari refugee camp was shot in the chest, before being taken to the Palestine Medical Complex where he was pronounced dead.

Masked gunmen had opened fire at Psagot settlement earlier, without any injuries being reported.

An Israeli military spokeswoman did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
