JERUSALEM, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- A Palestinian man was killed Tuesday by Israeli troops in the West Bank after he allegedly threw a bomb at the soldiers, the Israeli Defense Force said.
Soldiers making an arrest in the Qalandiyah refugee camp were fired on by gunmen. When one threw a makeshift bomb at them, the soldiers fired back and killed him, the IDF said. Palestinian medical officials said Mahmoud Abdullah Adwan, 21, was standing on the roof of his home when he was shot, and the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Palestinian sources said no shots were fired at the soldiers.
