Israeli troops open fire at Palestinian who dies at hospital

GAZA, Dec 3 (KUNA) -- Israeli troops opened fire at a Palestinian-driven car near Al-Bireh in the West bank on Thursday, according to the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
The troops opened fire when the car skidded off a road. He was hit and wounded, but they barred paramedics from reaching him instantly, according to Wafa. After he was taken to hospital, he was pronounced as a martyr.
While the Palestinian media said that the car skidded off the road, apparently prompting the troops to fire, Israeli media said the young driver intended to ram his vehicle into them.
At least four Palestinians have fallen as martyrs since late on Wednesday in clashes between Palestinian protesters and the heavily-armed troops in Jerusalem and the West Bank. (pickup previous) wib.rk
