Israeli army forces shoot Palestinian to death

RAMALLAH, Nov 29 (KUNA) -- Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man on Sunday in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem.
Palestinian sources said that Baseem Salah, 38, from Nablus city was killed after he was shot at by Israeli forces after claims that he stabbed an Israeli soldier.
The sources added that both the army and settlers participated in shooting Salah.
In a related development, eyewitnesses told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that a large number of Israeli army forces stormed into the house of Shadi Al-Khaseeb who was killed last week by a settler in East Jerusalem and took the house's measurements. Meanwhile, the Israeli forces shut down the local radio station 'Dream' which broadcasts from Al-Khalil city after breaking into its headquarters and seized its equipment.
Its Chief Taleb Al-Jeabari said in a statement that a huge number of Israeli soldiers stormed into the building this morning and handed the employees a decision of shutting the radio station for six monthes.
This comes after the Israeli authorities had shut down two other Palestinian radio stations over what they described as their attempts to further escalate tensions in the occupied West Bank.(end) nq.hjb
