QUSRA, West Bank (Reuters) - A Palestinian man was shot in the stomach on Saturday when clashes broke out in the occupied West Bank between Jewish settlers, Palestinians and Israeli soldiers, a medical official and military sources said.
Tension in the area has been on the rise, a month before U.S. President Barack Obama is due to visit Israel and the Palestinian Territories. On Friday Palestinian demonstrators clashed with Israeli soldiers throughout the West Bank, and dozens sustained light injuries from inhaling tear gas or being hit by rubber bullets fired by the military.
