The Israeli army on Thursday killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank while trying to arrest his son.

Witnesses told Anadolu Agency that Israeli forces killed Falah Hamdi Abu Maria in the town of Beit Ummar.

Medical reports said he was shot in the chest.

“Dozens of Palestinians have begun arriving at Abu Maria’s house, amid anger in the town,” witnesses added.

On Wednesday, Israeli military forces killed a young Palestinian man in the northern West Bank.

More than 20 Palestinians have been killed and another 2,156 have been detained by the Israeli military in 2015, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) said in a report issued earlier this month.
