For the third day in a row, Israeli forces in the West Bank shot and killed a Palestinian on Thursday as he prepared to hurl a Molotov cocktail at them. The incident took place near the Palestinian village of Kufr Malik, according to Ha’aretz.
Wednesday’s deadly incident took place near Ramallah, when a Palestinian mob attacked an IDF position.
