Palestinians 'killed in clashes with Israeli police' | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Two Palestinians have been shot dead in clashes with Israeli forces in Qalandiya refugee camp in the West Bank, Palestinian sources say. | |
More than a dozen Palestinians were wounded in the confrontation, hospital officials in nearby Ramallah said. | |
Israeli police said "riot dispersal methods" had been used against some 1,500 Palestinians throwing rocks and petrol bombs during an arrest. | |
They did not confirm the use of live fire or any reported deaths. | |
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the violence erupted after police went to the camp to arrest a "hostile terrorist activist", AFP news agency reported. | |
Residents "began a disturbance, throwing petrol bombs and stones, endangering the lives of force members, who responded with riot dispersal means," Ms Samri said. | |
She said three police were injured after being hit by stones. |
