ammunition' (e.g. not rubber bullets), gas bombs and concussion grenades at scores of protesters in the Bab az-Zaweya area, in the centre of the city, causing dozens of
injuries, including 25 shot and injured by more shooting.
Doctors at the al-Mezan Medical Centre in Hebron, performed a heart surgery
in an attempt to save the live of Edrees, and administered 40 units of

Israeli forces kill Palestinian during protest near Ramallah
http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=719146
8 August (report by Maan) -- A Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces on
Friday afternoon during clashes at *Jabal al-Tawil east of el-Bireh near
Ramallah, following a protest close to the nearby Jewish settlement of
*Psagot*. Medical sources told Ma‘an that Ahmad Mohammad al-Qatari of
al-Am‘ari refugee camp was shot in the chest, before being taken to the
Palestine Medical Complex where he was pronounced dead. Masked gunmen had
opened fire at Psagot settlement earlier, without any injuries being
reported. An Israeli military spokeswoman did not immediately return calls
seeking comment.
Al-Qatari was at least the 16th Palestinian to be killed by Israelis in the
West Bank in the last month, as forces have repeatedly attacked tens of
thousands partaking in protests in solidarity with the Gaza Strip. Also on
Friday, Israeli forces injured at least 50 Palestinians in protests across
the West Bank, including 40 in *Hebron* alone, where hundreds marched
through the Bab al-Zawiya neighborhood in the city center in solidarity
with Gaza. Israeli forces used live bullets and rubber-coated steel bullets
to disperse Palestinian demonstrators in *Safa, near Ramallah, as well as
in *‘Azzun, near Qalqiliya.
