Transcribed from the clipping

“RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinians on Friday marched in anger to bury a 19-year-old killed by Israeli fire after Jewish settlers rampaged through a flashpoint town in the occupied West Bank the night before. The youth’s death, coming as tensions escalate during the Jewish holiday season, marked the latest in a surge in Israeli-Palestinian fighting that has so far killed nearly 200 Palestinians this year — the highest yearly death toll in about two decades. Some 30 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks on Israelis during that time. It remained unclear on Friday who fired the bullet that killed Labeeb Dumaidi, a 19-year-old Palestinian from the town of Hawara. The Israeli military said soldiers shot a Palestinian who threw a cinder block at an Israeli car. Palestinians in Hawara claimed that an Israeli settler shot and killed Dumaidi while he was standing on his rooftop watching clashes on the street between settlers and Palestinians.”
