News - Middle East: Israeli forces have arrested several Palestinians and shot dead a young man during separate raids in the West Bank.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing medical sources, reported that 29-year-old Yahya Daniel Awad, an employee of the al-Khalil Municipality, succumbed to his critical gunshot wounds on Wednesday.

He was shot in the chest by Israeli forces as they stormed the Fawwar refugee camp, located six kilometers southwest of al-Khalil, the previous night.

Israeli troops raided several homes in the camp, triggering confrontations with Palestinian residents by firing sound bombs, teargas canisters and live ammunition.

Several other young men also suffered moderate bullet injuries during skirmishes with Israeli soldiers in the camp.

All the casualties were transferred to Yatta Governmental Hospital in al-Khalil for medical treatment.
