JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli soldier shot dead a Palestinian on Thursday who the military said drove deliberately at high speed towards troops in the occupied West Bank, injuring one of them.

Violence has flared in the territory in the past week in the run-up to the planned inauguration later on Thursday of a new Israeli "unity" government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
