RAMALLAH, West Bank â The number of Palestinians killed by Israel in the occupied West Bank has risen to 11.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said late Friday that one of the wounded men brought to a hospital in the territory earlier had been in critical condition and died of his injuries. This comes amid rising tensions in the West Bank signaling a new wave of violence from the Israel-Gaza confrontation.
Meanwhile in east Jerusalem, a police vehicle caught fire during widespread violent clashes between Palestinians and police.
Police said security forces in the a-Tur neighborhood were attacked Friday by stones and firebombs, one of which hit a police car and set it on fire. Police responded to protesters with tear gas and stun grenades.
