JERUSALEM, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- One Palestinian was killed and another seriously injured on Saturday during clashes with Israeli Jewish settlers in the West Bank, according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Hamdy Na'asan, a 38-year-old Palestinian and father of four, was killed by gunfire during clashes that took place in the area between the Palestinian village of Al Mughayyir, east of the city of Ramallah, and the nearby Adei Ad Jewish outpost, said IDF.
A physical confrontation evolved between a number of Palestinians and an Israeli settler, during which the settler was injured without need for medical treatment, IDF added.
According to the IDF's statement, shortly thereafter, a conflict erupted between Israeli settlers and Palestinians in the area, in which the settlers fired gunshots.
IDF and Israeli Border Police forces arrived at the scene and dispersed the "riot."
This is the second Palestinian who was killed in confrontations over the weekend in the West Bank. On Friday, a 16-year-old Palestinian was killed by IDF fire near the Palestinian town of Silwad, east of Ramallah.
According to the IDF, the boy and two of his friends threw stones at Israeli vehicles.
