Qalandia (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Israeli security forces shot dead a Palestinian man Thursday night during a massive protest in the West Bank, just north of Jerusalem.

Palestinian security and medical officials named the man as Mohammed Al-Aaraj, 25, and said he was among at least 10,000 people clashing with soldiers and border police in Qalandiya, between Jerusalem and Ramallah.

Clashes in West Bank Leave '3 Palestinians dead', dozens Injured

At least three people have died and dozens have been injured in tonight's unrest at a number of locations. Protests at a checkpoint turned ugly as up to 10,000 demonstrators fought running battles with Israeli forces in the town of Qalandiya near Ramallah.

An Israeli army spokeswoman told AFP: "There are thousands of rioters there. They are rolling burning tyres and throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks at soldiers and border police. The soldiers are responding with riot disposal means." These are thought to include stun grenades, teargas and a so-called skunk vehicle which projects foul smells towards rioters. Some locals have also reported that live fire was used by Israeli forces.

There were also riots in East Jerusalem near the Old City's Flower Gate, Ha'aretz reported. Two policemen were slightly injured in rock-throwing on Temple Mount. Since Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir was murdered by Jewish extremists there have been demonstrations every day. 24 July is Laylat al-Qadr, one of the most important dates in the Islamic calendar, and tensions are also high ahead of Friday prayer tomorrow.

7. So much for the "only democracy" in the ME. Which is a lie to begin with.

Absolutely no protesting allowed and certainly no criticism.
