JAKARTA - Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian in the West Bank on Wednesday. The victim was recorded as the third person reported killed by Israeli forces in 24 hours in the occupied territory of Israeli settlers.
The Palestinian Authority also reported a spike in the Jewish settlers' movement to build a new foothold in the West Bank. The Settlement set up tents in seven locations in the past 10 days in an unprecedented explosion of activity.
Construction of Jewish settlements has escalated rapidly in the West Bank - the region Palestinians fight for for future countries - since the start of Gaza's war, and violence has also escalated there.
As reported by Reuters on Wednesday, May 28, Jassem Ibrahim, 20, died when Israeli forces stormed his home in Jit village after midnight, his cousin, Ahmed al-Sedda, said.

The shootings came after Israeli forces killed a 20-year-old Palestinian during a raid on death on Tuesday, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. Another Palestinian man was killed by Israeli forces in the city of Nablus on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The Israeli military has yet to provide a statement regarding the shooting incident in the West Bank.
During months of military operations in the West Bank, settlers' attacks increased against Palestinian villages while new development was accelerated under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government.
