NABLUS (Ma’an) — Palestinian security forces killed a man in a Nablus-area
refugee camp late Tuesday, officials and witnesses said.
Amjad Odeh, 37, died in what Palestinian officials described as an exchange
of fire between the security forces and a wanted man in Askar refugee camp.
Odeh was taken to Rafidia hospital were he was pronounced dead. There were
reports of other injuries.
Witnesses told Maan that dozens of Palestinians attacked security forces
with rocks after the incident.
In Al-Fara refugee camp, angry residents managed to shut off the main street
connecting Nablus and Tubas and set tires on fire to protest the shooting.
