Israeli soldiers kill Palestinian in clash

The Israeli military said troops were there to arrest a militant suspect when the violence erupted.

"Suspects hurled explosive devices and fired shots at the security forces, who responded with live fire. Hits were identified," the military said. It did not elaborate.

Friday's violence follows months of tension that has deepened since Israeli forces began a crackdown in the West Bank in March in response to a series of attacks by Palestinians in Israel.
