Israel Defense Forces troops on Friday shot and killed a Palestinian who participated in a violent West Bank protest against Israel's offensive in Gaza.
An IDF soldier sustained light wounds when Palestinian demonstrators hurled rocks at troops who stopped them from marching into Hebron to protest the Israeli operation in the coastal strip.
IDF soldiers then fired tear gas rubber-coated bullets at the group of protesters, killing one.
Palestinian witnesses named the dead man as Musab Daana, 20.
A Palestinian medic said that Daana was killed by a live round to the head.
Fifteen other Palestinians were injured in the incident.
Israel's offensive in Gaza entered its 21 day Friday, as the Israel Air Force attacked close to 40 targets in the coastal strip, while rockets fired from Gaza pounded southern Israel.
