A young Palestinian man was shot dead and dozens were injured on Friday during clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, reported Xinhua, quoting the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

The Palestinian young man was killed after he was shot in the chest by Israeli soldiers in the village of Beita, south of the West Bank city of Nablus, according to a ministry statement.

Eyewitnesses said clashes between the two sides broke out in different areas in the West Bank, adding dozens were injured by rubber bullets and tear gas canisters.

Every Friday for years, the Palestinians organize popular protest against the expansion of Israeli settlement and confiscation of land.

In the last six weeks, 30 Palestinians were killed and hundreds injured during clashes with Israeli soldiers in several towns and villages of the West Bank, the Health Ministry said.
