Palestinian man killed by Israeli forces near Ramallah
A Palestinian worker, Shehada al-Jafari, 26, was fatally shot in the neck Saturday afternoon near Ramallah as Israeli security forces fired during clashes. Witnesses and the Palestinian Red Crescent reported the man was using an electric drill near a damaged building, and some speculated the tool was mistaken for a weapon. The death brings the two month toll to 294 amid ongoing violence.
