A young Palestinian was killed by Israeli gun fire near Nablus city north of the West Bank on Thursday. Israeli media reports said the Palestinian youth was carrying fireworks and was pointing them at Jewish settlers standing near Za'atara crossing which separate Nablus and Ramallah. Israeli sources did not announce the identity of the Palestinian yet. Eyewitnesses told KUNA that an Israeli ambulance arrived at the crossing, while Israeli forces sealed the area and banned cars from crossing.
