RAMALLAH, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- A Palestinian youth was shot dead during clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians in the West Bank, Palestinian medical sources said Wednesday.
Mohammad Besharat, 21, was fatally shot by Israeli gunfire in the chest during the clashes, said the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.
Several others were wounded by live ammunition and rubber coated bullets and suffocated by tear gas, it added.
Witnesses said clashes broke out after Israeli forces raided the village of Tamoun, located near Tubas in the West Bank's Northern Valleys.
No Israeli sources were available for comment on the incident.
Israeli forces regularly raid Palestinian territories in the West Bank to arrest wanted Palestinians, while Palestinians say the arrests tend to be arbitrary and target civilians.
