On Wednesday, Israeli soldiers killed one Palestinian and injured another near the Tunnel military roadblock, west of Beit Jala city, in the Bethlehem governorate.
The two were from Gaza; they were both detained by the soldiers when and one of them allegedly tried to escape; the soldiers shot him at the Tunnel military roadblock.
The slain Palestinian has been identified as Morad Issa Mohammad Al-Farra, from Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Palestine TV said the army abducted the two Palestinians who were later released, but they do not know their way around the West Bank, so they were apparently trying to reach Bethlehem or Ramallah before the soldiers chased them at the military roadblock and opened fire, killing Morad and abducting the other Palestinian.
Palestine TV correspondent said the soldiers also attacked him and his crew and were threatening to shoot them if they did not leave the area.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 1079 Palestinians, including children and women, have been killed in the last four days, adding that among them, 1055 Palestinians killed and 5184 injured in the Gaza Strip, 24 Palestinians were killed and 130 injured in the West Bank. (%60 of the wounded in Gaza are women and children.)
The United Nations Relief And Works Agency (UNRWA) said nine of its employees were killed by Israeli missiles and shells since the bombing of Gaza began last Saturday.
