| Mr. Abu Latifa’s death follows the killing on Thursday of a 53-year-old Palestinian man, Falah Abu Marya. Mr. Abu Marya was shot in the chest as he threw objects from his first-floor balcony at soldiers who were trying to arrest his son. On Wednesday, Israeli military forces shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian during a raid in Burqin, a farming town in the northern West Bank. A military spokeswoman said Israeli forces had opened fire after Palestinians ignored an order to stop throwing rocks at them. | Mr. Abu Latifa’s death follows the killing on Thursday of a 53-year-old Palestinian man, Falah Abu Marya.
