Palestinian killed after ramming car into West Bank checkpoint, Israel says

Source: Reuters

JERUSALEM, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian teenager who rammed a car into a military checkpoint in the occupied West Bank on Monday, seriously injuring an Israeli guard, Israel's defence ministry said.

The incident occurred at a roadblock between Israel and the central West Bank near the Palestinian city of Tulkarem.

Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh accused Israel of "cold-blooded murder".

He gave no details of his own on what transpired at the checkpoint.

Yes I know it wasn’t a base, but it was still government property.

...told Hamas to go pound sand and said "Bullshit" to this Shtayyeh, they might make some progress.

But they are addicted to violence and anti-Semitism.
