Israelis Kill Two Palestinians in West Bank; Far-Right Protesters Attack Palestinian Reporter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man,
21-year-old Bakeer Mohammad Hashash, during a raid on the Balata refugee
camp in Nablus Thursday. Hours later, an Israeli settler drove his car
into a Palestinian man, 25-year-old Mustafa Falaneh, near a checkpoint,
killing him. Meanwhile, far-right Israeli protesters attacked a
Palestinian photojournalist in front of a hospital near Tel Aviv. The
attackers were protesting the release of Hisham Abu Hawash, who recently
ended his 141-day hunger strike after being granted release from
administrative detention, where he was being held without trial or
charge.
