On Friday evening, one Palestinian, identified as Lafi Yousef Awad, 22 years of age, was shot and killed by Israeli army fire during clashes with soldiers invading Budrus village, west of the central West Bank city of Ramallah. Awad was first shot with a rubber-coated metal bullet, before the soldiers chased him, and one of them fired a live round at his back. Awad, a student of the Al-Quds – Abu Dis University, was moved to the Palestine Medical Center in Ramallah, where he died of his serious wounds. Eyewitnesses said a sharpshooter of the Israeli army deliberately targeted Awad despite his injury, and shot him from close range.
