Israel says killed local Hamas leader in West Bank’s Jenin
Israeli forces killed a local Hamas leader in Jenin, northern West Bank, on Tuesday, according to the Israeli military.
Stuck in a conflict that seems to have no expiry date, Palestinian protestors were gravely injured in clashes with Israeli soldiers in many West Bank cities and villages, according to medics and witnesses stationed there.
The protesters were subjected to live ammunition, rubber bullets, and teargas canisters fired by the Israeli soldiers. Meanwhile, the Palestinians threw stones at soldiers, chanted anti-Israel slogans, and waved Palestinian flags.

It all panned out the way it did after a demonstration broke out against a settlement outpost opposite Jabal Sabih following Friday Prayers. The residents wanted the Israeli army stationed at the outpost to completely evacuate it and return the land to original Palestinian owners.
