RAMALLAH, March 11, 2018 (WAFA) – News about the killing of a Palestinian youth by Israeli forces during clashes in the village of Urif, to the south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, hit the front page headlines of the three Arabic Palestinian dailies on Sunday.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that a Palestinian young man identified as Omayr Shehadah, 19, was shot dead and another one identified as Hammam Sobhi, 16, was injured with a gunshot in his foot during clashes with the Israeli army in the village of Urif, to the south of Nablus in the West Bank.

They said Shehadah died of his wounds after he was critically injured in the chest by Israeli soldiers and settlers who were raiding the village.

The newspapers reported that dozens of Palestinians suffocated on Saturday after inhaling teargas fired at them by Israeli forces during a raid on the village of Azzoun, to the east of Qalqilia.

Israeli Jewish settlers Saturday attacked the village of al-Tuwaneh, in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to the dailies.

Al-Quds said that the council of Jewish settlements, known as the Yesha Council, intends to propose a settlement construction bill in E1 area, east of occupied Jerusalem.

The three dailies reported a statement by Ahmad Majdalani, member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee. He said that the Palestinian leadership rejected an invitation by the United States to attend a donors meeting on the humanitarian situation in Gaza planned for March 13 at the White House.

Al-Ayyam reported a statement by Ayman Safadi, Jordan‘s Minister of Foreign Affairs. He said that peace must guarantee Palestinians’ right to freedom and to an independent state.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida said according to sources in the Israeli Likud party, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want to go to early elections.
