Israeli forces kill at least four Palestinians in separate incidents, including one in occupied east Jerusalem and three others in Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank
Police shot the young man while he was on Al-Wad Road, near the Majlis Gate leading to the Al Aqsa Mosque, according to eyewitnesses.
The violence on Thursday flared as Israel tallied the final votes in national elections held this week, with former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu expected to lead a comfortable majority backed by ultra-far-right allies. Israeli police said it happened during a raid in the territory and alleged the man threw a firebomb at the forces.
