In the West Bank, Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian man Friday in the village of Nilin during the weekly protest against the construction of Israel’s separation wall through the West Bank. Medics said the thirty-five-year-old Aqel Srour was hit in the chest by a live bullet, and another protester was wounded, when soldiers fired at the protesters. On Saturday, close to 200 Israelis and Palestinians gathered near the West Bank city of Hebron to show their objection to the ongoing building of illegal Jewish settlements. An attempt to erect their own outpost named “Obama 2” near the Jewish settlement of Sussiya was foiled by Israeli security forces, who tore the makeshift construction down. Meanwhile in Gaza, Israeli troops killed four Palestinians along the Gaza border earlier today. Israel claimed the men were militants trying to cross into Israel.
