SARTA, West Bank \u2014 A Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers inside his home in the occupied West Bank, according to a family member who spoke on Thursday. The Israeli military acknowledged the shooting, stating that the man had hurled objects at the soldiers before they fired.<\/p>

The victim, Mustafa Al-Khatib, 32, was discovered dead in his bedroom in the West Bank village of Sarta, located approximately 32 kilometers \u2014 about 20 miles \u2014 north of Jerusalem. His cousin, Amin Al-Khatib, said soldiers had forced their way through the front door of the home.<\/p>

“I entered the house. They had broken the door,” Amin said. “He was lying in his bedroom. … We found him on the ground.”<\/p>

According to the Israeli military, troops were conducting operations in the area when a man began throwing objects at them. The military said soldiers fired warning shots before directing fire at the man.<\/p>

Video recorded inside the residence showed overturned and ransacked cupboards, along with bloodstains visible on the floor.<\/p>

The Palestinian Health Ministry, based in Ramallah, released a statement indicating that Al-Khatib’s death raised the total number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank to 72 since the start of the year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
