A Palestinian man was killed during clashes with Israeli soldiers overnight as they arrived to demolish the home of the alleged perpetrator of a deadly attack on Israelis, the army said Thursday. A spokeswoman said that during a confrontation "suspects threw improvised explosive devices at soldiers, who responded by opening fire, resulting in the death" of a Palestinian.
The Palestinian health ministry identified the man killed as Ahmad al-Kharoubi, 19. The spokeswoman said Israeli soldiers were attempting to demolish the home of Misbah Abu Sbeih - who went on a deadly shooting rampage in October - in the east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Kufr Aqab.
