Israeli troops have shot and killed a Palestinian and injured two others during a clash in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian security and medical officials said 25-year-old Mahmoud al-Titi died on Tuesday evening after he was shot in the upper part of his body near the city of al-Khalil (Hebron).
The other two Palestinians suffered injuries in the leg and abdomen.
Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli troops broke out shortly after the occupying forces stormed the al-Fawwar refugee camp.
Palestinian youths -- angry over the presence of Israeli soldiers at the camp site -- hurled stones and bottles at the Israeli troops, who fired live bullets in return.
On March 8, Israeli soldiers shot and wounded a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip. The young man was injured after Israeli forces opened fire at a group of Palestinians on a farm in the northern town of Jabalia.
Palestinian medics said the victim -- a young man in his early twenties -- was shot in the chest.
