"One Palestinian was killed and 52 injured in clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in the settlement of Deir al-Hatab in the vicinity of Nablus," the medics said in a statement.
Six of the victims received gunshot wounds, the rest inhaled tear gas, the medics added.
Earlier in the day, local news agency WAFA reported that a 21-year-old Palestinian was killed by a shot to the head during an Israeli attack on a house in the village of Deir al-Hatab, east of the West Bank city of Nablus. The owner of the house reportedly resisted the Israeli soldiers, who were demanding people inside the house surrender, which led to the opening of fire by the Israeli troops.
